Little girl is almost 5 weeks old... Which is your favourite?

[user1493330753]

April
Autumn
Scarlet
Violet

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I'd go for April

you ask for other suggestions:

Iris?

Violet

Autumn is lovely- I think of autumn colours and someone bold and fearless.

I think you absolutely can call her April or autumn!

I say violet as VI-uh-let, but that uh is a really quick schwa sound. so not very obvious.

I love April and think you can use it whenever you like. So elegant and pretty. Suits all ages

Of course you can call her Autumn or April if she wasn't born in either of those time periods. When does anyone even ask when you were born anyway? I know several Aprils/Mays/Junes and Autumns as an adult and I have never thought 'Oh were you born in the month you are named after because your name is stupid if not'. It doesn't matter a jot and I like April or Scarlet best.

I like Violet and Scarlett equally. I don't like the spelling Scarlet though, so if that's the only option, I would choose Violet.

The people who are suggesting you can't name her April or Autumn because she wasn't born then are truly daft. June used to be an insanely popular name and I can guarantee not all Junes were born in June.

I also have a good friend named April whose birthday is in December (and no one asks her about whether she was born in April ), and another friend named May whose birthday is in July.

I'm amazed she's still nameless after five weeks! I like Violet best from your list. Also like the suggestion of Iris.

I like April best

I don't like babies born in April being called April, it sounds unimaginative. I prefer it when they are born in a different month.

I also feel that April/May/June and Summer/Autumn have become named in their own right.

I think Violet is becoming very "in" and trendy and will be climbing the charts this year.

Avril is a pretty alternative to April.

I like April.

I also like Hazel, Clover, Amber and Willow which seem to have the same kind of feel as the names in your list.

Also June or Joy? (Same issue with June as with April I guess, but I don't think it matters).

My favourites are Scarlet and April.

I like Violet too, but only like the vi-o-let pronunciation for some reason.

I'd got for Violet, or Pearl.

I'm a 3 syllable pronouncer of Violet but don't find it awkward to say.

Violet !

Violet

Pearl is also very nice, Primrose?

I think it's a bit odd to say you can't call a child April if she's not born in April. Of course you can.

I like all your names but Scarlet is my least favourite. The others are all lovely.

In that order. Congratulations .
