I find it a bit bland.

Love it.

The Avril Lavigne connection has never bothered me. And she's not that horrible anyway, I'd much prefer her to Britney or Paris.

---

Plus, by the time I have kids (7-10 years from now), the connection probably won't be as strong.

I really dislike Avril - I think it's the combination of the 'v' (which I rarely like in names) and the 'r' straight after. I much prefer April, fresh and sweet. Makes me think of daisies. And kittens... but that's just coz of a book I loved when I was little lol.

Lavigne absolutely ruined the name for me.

---

Not that I liked it much before, but now I double wouldn't use it, because of her. I could not consciously use the name knowing such a snotty sell-out shares it, and there would no doubt be comparisons.

It's ok. I, along with Lavigne, reminds me of Advil. I prefer April or Abril.

Love Avril. I also like the three syllable variant, Averill ("AV-er-il"). April is sweet and fresh too.

I prefer it to the English April

I adore Avril [m]

it's so sweet and fresh.

It's a bit harsh. Averill (ah-VERY-ill) is much prettier IMO.

Since you already mentioned Lavigne I won't bother, but that's immediately where my mind goes.

Aside from that association it's okay. The v in the middle makes it seems a little too rough and growly to me. I definitely prefer April--sweet, but not flimsy. It need a really strong mn though, imo.
