April!!

Avril is horrible.

April in itself is ok but it's too closely linked to a month so would be a bit of a PITA.

CoffeeRunner · 25/07/2021 21:20

Molly. Definitely Molly.

GintyMcGinty · 25/07/2021 21:21

Molly

GintyMcGinty · 25/07/2021 21:22

And April should only be considered if the child is born that month.

Both lovely but prefer april

Molly

I like April but I prefer Avril

Lockdownbear · 25/07/2021 21:26

Is Molly short for something?

April I'm another who thinks it only works if the baby is born in April, same with June.

April. I don't get Molly, I always think of the drug

RuthW · 25/07/2021 21:38

April

Tronkmanton · 25/07/2021 21:47

Molly, but I’m terribly biased. Also you can shorten Molly to Mol, but you can’t really shorten April.

Youreacockarentyou · 25/07/2021 22:10

Such mixed opinions! 😬 I keep changing my mind reading your comments! There really is no front runner, maybe I’ll just have to wait till she’s here and see what she looks more like?!

Shes not going to be born in April, but I prefer it that way personally i think it would be a bit twee if she was!

Definitely April. I've met quite a few young Molly's and none of them have been particularly nice

RickOShay · 25/07/2021 22:13

April is gorgeous
Not too keen on Molly

April

Gertie75 · 25/07/2021 23:11

April, if you call Molly over the park you'll get several cockapoos running to you.

Germolenequeen · 25/07/2021 23:14

Molly was one of my lost babies - love it 💗

championofdance · 25/07/2021 23:14

I love April, I don’t think it matters much if she wasn’t born in April.

HermioneKipper · 25/07/2021 23:17

Definitely Molly! Molly Weasley is my fave character in Harry Potter!

mathanxiety · 25/07/2021 23:18

I don't really like either.

All the Aprils I knew were called Ape.
Molly is the name of a drug.

FayeFayeFayeFayeFaye · 25/07/2021 23:20

Molly, if I had to choose.

I don’t get the love for April, I think it’s really harsh sounding.

StevieNix · 25/07/2021 23:24

April
