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

I like April.

I also went to school with a very beautiful girl called Alana, and have always liked the name. Along with Anna and Anoushka.

Avril is horrible. Sounds like Bovril

April is lovely. Was on my shortlist but had DS instead!

I like it. Pretty and simple. How about Ada, Ava, Anwen, Alma, Ariadne, Amelie?

I also really like May for a girl.

I like it. I only know of one, aged 11. I also like Arabella, Annabella, Anoushka, Anouk and Alice.

April is lovely

Adelaide is a much better name. April fool comes to mind
April is a much nicer name. Adelaide is just a place in Australia

Lovely

People wouldn’t bat an eye at a May or June not being born in that month would they??! It certainly wouldn’t occur to me. Odd argument IMO.

April and Adelaide were both on our list too, there’s a baby in the family called Adelina now though! Nn Ada.

Adelaide is just a place in Australia

the place is named after Queen Adelaide.

Doubt you say the same about Victoria or Florence?

I would. I find it strange to name a child after a month or day they weren't born on. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow I’m surprised by that! So you expect all those Ellie-Mays and Lily-Mays to be born in May?

Not expect as such, I just find it odd if they're not. My cousins little girl has May as her middle name and she was born in May.

I have an April. She's a grown woman now and she loves her name. People always remember it too as it's just a little bit different (her school year was full of Amys, Charlottes and Sophies). However, yes she'd be a wealthy woman if she had a pound for every time someone said "Oh, we're you born in April? '

Also love May as a first name but it’s one of our other children’s middle names. She is not born in May also

Does April have a nickname?

April is beautiful.

I loved Antigone too but DP though it was ‘too posh’

@3AndStopping

Does April have a nickname?

The family call her Apes. Not the most attractive name 😄

@ContractClockAndCrucible yes I couldn’t think of anything but ‘ape’ 🤣 it’s not the actual name though right!?

Also middle names that go with April? 🤔

It’s lovely
