Chloe or April?

[plantsandnames]

Don’t know what we’re having and can barely agree on any names but these two names are both ones we sort of like.

April - wasn’t that the name of the character in teenage ninja turtles?

Oh gosh, not Chloe.

April slightly better I suppose. But does make me think of April in Revolutionary Road, which isn't the cheeriest of books.

April

I love chloe!

Really surprised by the negative comments so far

It's just dawned on me that that's what Avril Lavigne was named for 🙈

April imo x

April

April

Chloe is much nicer though, I find it odd that people prefer April. Maybe because there were a lot of Chloes around in the 80s/90s, and so they probably know a few Chloes in their 30s or 40s. But I think it's narrow minded to always follow the latest naming trends when Chloe is still classic and beautiful.

I don't mind April, but it doesn't stand out in comparison.

April, as I think Chloe is too common. I would never personally wonder or ask about birth month for anyone with a month name...I knew an April and never once thought her birthday.

Prefer Chloe. Would you consider Opal?

@MissRabbit00very similar tastes! Any suggestions for boys too please? We have no idea for a boy at all and suggestions welcome as your girls list would be the same as mine!

Thanks for everyone’s else’s views, interesting to hear thoughts. I didn’t realise Chloe was viewed as dated by some, weirdly doesn’t change my opinion on it though.

Chloe. Beautiful name.

@Pemba

Maybe. I have an April. It’s only her in a year group of 375. There’s about 6 or 7 Chloe’s.

Chloe.

I’ve always thought April is such an ugly name.

April, but only if born/due in April otherwise it's a bit odd.

Chloe is OK but dated.

Zoe is nice, like a pp said.

She does have a brother! Top names on the list for him were Jack, Avery, Jacob, Samuel. If I was having one now though I think Ralph would be on the list.

Shocked at how many people saying no to Chloe. But when naming my daughter I did read that it is the most divisive name - so I guess that was true! 😂

Also no one has ever asked what month my April was born in. I think it’s odd that people think you can only be named after a month/season if you were born in it. Surely a month/day can mean something to you for a completely different reason.

@MissRabbit00how funny, Jack is my number one choice for boys but husband has said no. We have very similar tastes.

I also agree about the month thing, it wouldn’t even occur to me that a ‘month’ name was born in that month. I’d quite like a nod to Christmas time with the middle name even though it’ll be a spring baby 🤷‍♀️

If I was to have another baby girl now Robyn would defo be my top name!

I know a baby Chole and when I found out the name I actually thought it was quite refreshing for a baby name these days! It’s a pretty name. I think I prefer it to April.
