Thoughts on April?

[east93]

April was once on my list for a number of reasons, but was eventually crossed off. I found myself reconsidering it tonight, but could really use some feedback on it.

What's your opinion on the name? What kind of image does it send out? Would you use it, or not? Any middle ideas?

Surname starts with a V.

I've always liked the name April. It sounds bright, happy, and pretty. I consider it underused as I've only met one person in my life with the name. I think it can work well as a first or middle name.

I really do like the name April. For some reason I think of a red head.
It's probably the "ape" sound that would stop me from using it as a FN, but a great MN for sure.


Avril is pretty cool if you can get past the singer.

I know a girl named Riley April, and that combo is beautiful. However, I've never met someone with April as a first name. I do prefer Avril, with the potential nickname Avi or Avri, but neither of these names need nicknames.

April is a great month name worth considering IMO.

Avril is the French variation of April. Both mean second. April is 395, and Avril isn't in the top 1000.

I have always like April ever since I first heard it while watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember the first time I met somebody named April. It is one of those names I love and find very very underused! It is a pleasant surprise when I hear on somebody. Avril is nice, but I prefer the more traditional April.

April is gorgeous!! It sounds very yellow and reminds me of daffodils and yellow tulips. April Gwyneth would be nice since Gwyneth gives me the same image.

I really, really dislike it, sorry - Ape just stands out and I find it so unattractive.

It's one of the better month names. I think it is pretty, but I would probably never use it. There are a lot of other names that I like more. Plus, I feel like it would only be usable if the child was born in April. I say this because I have a feeling that everyone would assume that and you would have to constantly correct them if she was in fact born another month.
