Former PM of Canada Kim Campbell's real name was Avril Phaedra, and that combo helped me appreciate this name. Although I think it was spelled Avrill in her case. I like Avril, April, Abril, all the april names, I think they're pert, bright, and smart. There's also something a little bit timeless about it, in that it feels like it could work on anyone born any time in the last, oh, 250 years. Like I could see a Victorian Avril as easily as a one-year-old Avril. Avril feels less dated than April, which has a strong 70s-80s vibe to me.
