April Ann or Sammy Ann

[Minieggsmuncher]

Final two.what are your thoughts ladies ? Atm I think I prefer April Ann :)

April is lovely

Sammy Ann reminds me of the Sally Ann (Salvation Army)!

I agree having two middle names sounds nicer and still honours your friend.

April is really nice. I would use it for an April baby only but on the other hand look at the millions of something Mays not born in May.

Would you consider Ariel?

As someone often called 'Sammy' (to my annoyance) I beg you not to call her that!

April is lovely. Who cares what month she is born in. Sammy is not so nice.

April. Sammy is awful on a girl.

Not keen on 'AA' being a person's initials, myself.

April is nice.
Sammy on it's own sounds odd. What about Samantha, Samia or Samara instead?

'Sammy Ann' makes me think of the Psammead from Five Children & It.

April is lovely, I quite like Sammy too actually but April is just about my favourite girls name.

Agree with Blueberry that Ann sounds nicer as a second middle name xx

Sammy is awful. Don't.

Definitely April Ann. I don't think it matters if she isn't born in April.

Samantha Ann is fine too. But to be honest Sammy Ann sounds a bit 'bible belt America' to me. Which, assuming you aren't so there isn't a cultural link, isn't my personal taste in names. You know, Sammy Ann, Tammy Lee, that type of thing.

Two middle names would be nice too: April Elizabeth Ann, etc.

I like both April and Samantha but not Sammy.

I prefer April to Samantha but think Samantha Ann sounds better than April Ann (not really an issue if you're rarely using the middle name though).

April Samantha Ann is lovely (or even April Sammy Ann if you really like Sammy)

April is lovely,
Iv got a friend June who was born in April don't think it matters when she is born tbh, good luck

I'm not a fan of Sammy as the given name, I'd prefer Samantha and use Sammy as a nn, which is what it is

April is nice and I wouldn't be bothered which month she was actually born in, but I'm not keen on it with Ann as the middle name

I don't like Sammy or April.

I knew an April who rejoiced [not] in the nn of Ape.

I prefer April, or Samantha over Sammy.

Out of curiosity, is it going to be a case of "April" (Or "Sammy") on a day to day basis but with Ann as a middle name on the BC, or will her name be "April Ann" used in a similar way to a double barrel?

I know a few people that have Ann as a middle name and it is used as part of their first name even though it isn't hyphenated. Their names tend to bleed into each other as they end with ys, so it ends up being "Name Yan" rather than "Name [pause] Ann" (if that makes any sense!) which I think you'd risk with Sammy. If she ever tried to say her name quickly is could sound like "Sammyan Minieggs" rather than "Sammy Ann Minieggs"!

*it could...not is could

Could you use Annabelle/ Annabel?

And if you don't actually like it but using in memory I would add another name in between ie:

April Samia Annabelle
April Samantha Annabel

What about Samia ( Sam -ey -a)/ samara. Nn sammy

Love April Ann. I actually wouldn't use April if she was born in April - kind of feels a bit unimaginative that way. And really, her birthday is hardly going to be part of her introduction - 'hello, this is April, she was born in May'.
