April
What are your thoughts on the name April? What would you pair it with? Would you prefer Avril or even Abril?I had a very good friend named April a long time ago. Her first and middle was April Lily... looking back at it I like it. The name is very short, sweet, and nice. I think it would go well with something floral and feminine...

I think it's really pretty, and it reminds me of springtime, which is my favorite season after winter. But I like Avril better.

I know a toddler named Abril. I think I might prefer Avril slightly, but April is very sweet. It's very sunny and approachable. April is an awful month where I'm from, but the word itself still conjures up images of a fresh spring day. It makes me think of daffodils especially.

I've had 2 pretty good friends named April and one close acquaintance.
All were extroverted & good-humored. Not boring. So I think that is why I have a great impression of April. I don't think I would like the name April otherwise, because it starts with ape. One of my friends April was facetiously called Apie by some of her other friends. Which was funny/ironic, not insulting.
Avril seems to me like a dodge of the "ape" sound if used by people who don't speak French, and also it seems celebrityish because of Avril Lavigne, and I don't love it. It's okay.
April Lily is sweet, but I wouldn't do that stuttery thing with the consecutive sounds, it'd bother me if it was my name. Maybe April Violet or April Jacinta, if I had to make a combo with a floral name.

I think it's very pretty, and really has spring-like, flowery vibes. I don't think a floral mn works too well, it usually ends up sounding like a fabric softener.April KathleenApril SuzanneApril VanessaApril WhitneyApril JillianApril Denise
