First impressions, Violet. It's classic. Although i havev a feeling its going to increase in popularity this year.
However April is quirky, slightly retro and could grow on me the more I think about it.

April. Love it.

Violet is also pretty, but very popular.

And ignore the people that say you can't call her April unless she is born in April. That is nonsense!

My relative is April. She was born in May!
It's a gorgeous name. Def a bit quirky.

I much prefer Violet. No particular reason, I just find it a more appealing name.

DandySeaLioness · 02/07/2017 21:22

Violet is so beautiful

WanderingTrolley1 · 02/07/2017 21:23

April. Reminds me of spring flowers.

SuperBeagle · 02/07/2017 21:23

I love Violet.

MiniAlphaBravo · 02/07/2017 21:23

April is lovely

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/07/2017 21:27

Definitely April, it's so pretty !

BadToTheBone · 02/07/2017 21:30

April. My don't like Biolet at all.

BadToTheBone · 02/07/2017 21:30

**or even Violet, lol

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 02/07/2017 21:35

Both are lovely. You could also consider Avril or Viola...

Hairq · 02/07/2017 22:13

April - I love this name. It's so happy and pretty without being flowery.

I do like Violet too though. I see Violets as dark haired only though.

ProbablyOuting · 02/07/2017 22:19

Both lovely!

Decaffstilltastesweird · 02/07/2017 22:25

Violet

MollyHuaCha · 02/07/2017 22:40

Both lovely. I wd choose Violet.

Mrsknackered · 02/07/2017 22:50

Violet! I don't like the sound of April at all.

Sophronia · 02/07/2017 23:39

April

CruCru · 03/07/2017 00:58

April. I know several baby Violets.

bridgetreilly · 03/07/2017 11:16

Violet.

To me, April sounds very dated.

Clarky14 · 03/07/2017 11:21

Love the name April but then I often I pick a name that I don't hear a lot Smile

Lulue45 · 03/07/2017 11:39

April :)

hophop333 · 03/07/2017 12:54

April.

Really not a fan of Violet, just looks like violent written down and I think it's arduous to pronounce so people often say 'vi-let'

PratStick · 03/07/2017 12:56

Violet!

PratStick · 03/07/2017 12:57

Agree with op that sounds Dated. Though obviously Violet is old school, April is more 80s to me
