Need therapy! Still unsure at 10 months

Hi all, we rushed a little for a passport but I'm still unsure about our DDs name. We named her April Lily but I'm very anxious that she'll be teased, Ape / April fool etc. I love Lily too but there are 6 already in my older sons year. Other names I love are Gracie, Hope, Tilly, Niamh, Florence & Lottie. I generally call her Baby (like Dirty Dancing!) and Honey Pie etc so she doesn't know her name yet either. This does really upset me as I love her lots and lots and lots but just want the perfect name for her. I don't know what to do and think it has driven me bonkers. Help or suggestions please...

Stick with April. It really is a beautiful name. I know an April who has never been teased about her name.

My 2yo niece is April and she's the only one I've ever known. We sometimes call her Apes as a nn and no-one has ever laughed at it. Stick with it, it's lovely.

I really really really like April...pretty and a little unusual...the perfect combo!!

I think it's a lovely name, it's very feminine but also quite a grown-up name, as opposed to the Millie/Molly/Tilly sort of names that there are lots of at the moment.

I think you are way overthinking the Ape thing, to be honest!

If you don't like it, change it. You've got a lot of time to regret it if you don't. She'll be too old to change it soon, so I'd go for it now if I were you. Lottie is gorgeous!

Thanks all, I have 1 month left to make my mind up! It seems like most of you prefer April. I do still love Hope and Tilly too x
