April?

[3AndStopping]

How do we feel about April for a little girl? We seem to be particularly drawn to A names this time around if anyone has any other suggestions!

TIA

Love it!!!

Quite like it, for a baby born in that month.

Astrid, Adela, Aislinn (Ash-linn), Annabeth

Not keen. Likely to get jokes about showers and birth month.

I like it!

Love it 💜

Love it but would be worried about being teased - April Fool, April showers.
Avril
Alice Alicia
Agatha
Anna
Astrid

Will take into consideration the teasing. Although I don’t think the associations are necessarily negative so not sure she’d be hugely offended?

& she wouldn’t be born in April...

Another we liked was Adelaide, nicknames Ada, Addie?

Love it. DH said no😕

I love April and Adelaide - they were both on my girl list.

Lovely name. I know two, both adults, neither with birthdays in April, which I think is the only thing they get a bit of gentle ribbing about as adults.

I like April a lot.

I know a couple of April’s, either born in April and neither really have that much said to them about their name. Mind you, if I met people that thought they were “original” and “hilarious” enough to joke about someone’s name I wouldn’t be hanging around them anyway.

@Sniffingtheair ooo what did you land on in the end? Or what others were on your girl list? We obviously have similar taste

@SmallPrawnEnergy it’s a school thing really isn’t it? An adult doing it is especially pathetic though! 😂

I have an April. Her first year was full of "Oh was she born in April?" "No" "Oh thats unusual"

Doesn't seem to have been much of an issue since then. People do constantly forget her birthday as they seem to think it should be in April. She hasn't been teased about her name except by her sister who likes to yell her name then say I wasn't calling you I was saying the month!

I like the name Autumn
April is nice also

@Nursingdreams83 🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ Excellent. Annoying sisters are to be expected...!

@3AndStopping Willow was our other possible. We had boys so didn’t end up using any of them.

@Sniffingtheair Ahh, ok. Willow is very pretty but we know a few now.

I like April. It's pretty and spring like and delicate and it doesn't end in either an 'ah' or 'ee' sound which makes a very nice change from most girls' names at the moment!

Slightly unusual, but everyone knows how to say it and spell it! Win win.

Adelaide is a much better name. April fool comes to mind.

Love it, and Avril and Adelaide too. I do like A names - I have an Audrey. I also had Anouk on my list.

Avril is better if not likely to be born in April.

We’re still very much in the decision process so all opinions/suggestions are helpful

Not keen on Avril, honestly it’s the Avril lavigne association. Think i might come across as a mega fan... which I was, at 12!
