What are your thoughts on the name April?

Me and OH both love it but my only doubt is that baby is actually due in April (unless a few days early!) - is that too cheesy or would it be weirder if they weren't born in April? We both decided we liked the name before linking it to the due date issue!

Middle name would likely be Matilda.

Ahh, just seen it’s a boy. 🤦‍♀️ can alwahs use it again in the future, and she never gets her name shortened to Ape.

Good luck with your baby boy!! Xx

@Ltay2 what a gorgeous name. I think you said it's been your husbands fav name for ages. I thought it was the best on your list too. Congratulations! Thank you so much for the update. Hope you're recovering ok

Nice name, refreshingly rare.

But yes somehow makes more sense if born in April, cos it’s kind of funny to have ‘oh were you born in April?’ ‘no - March’, not that it should stop you...

Ha - congratulations -

Also yes good job he wasn't a girl as we would have gone with April and then would have been born early in March anyway 🤣

I love it and I think you can use it any time not just when a baby is born in April

I love April, I think it's got such lovely associations - spring, sunshine etc. Would have definitely been in my shortlist if I'd had a girl.
