I just don't like the name April...partly because I think it's dated and sort of 1980s, and partly because I knew a really horrible girl named April in grade school. I like Elizabeth, and Leeann. What about Leana (Liana)? Or, what about just Elizabeth? Either way, she's yours, so you get to choose the name. Is there any reason you chose April?

Congratulations...let us know what you choose!

Thanks for the response. DH and I were both born in April and our anniversary is in April, so thats why we fell in love with the thought of April.

I chose none because although I like the name April okay and I see it has significance to you, none of the middle names sound right. Elizabeth and Elise both begin with an "El" sound and Leenn begins with the letter L, all of there seem to run into the L that April ends in. I think that something like April Catherine or April Genevieve sounds much better and doesn't run together into one name.

The meaning behind the name April for you is very sweet, however, I prefer the French word for April to the English one. Avril (pronounced long A-vreel in French or short A-vril in English) is much more beautiful, unique, and modern, IMO. Either way you pronounce it, I much prefer Avril to April.

I voted for April Leeann, but, again, I prefer a different spelling. My college roomate's name was Leanne, and I've always loved the way it's spelled. Leeann just looks funny to me with all of the vowels in the middle.

My top choice would be Avril Leanne. Let us know what you think!!!

I don't like the name April, but I love that it has a special meaning for you. I like April Leeann, my mom's name is LeeAnn and she is my best friend so it's a good name too me.
I like Abigail too

I also knew a girl in elementary school named April that I didnt like. Funny how we remember things. Avril is pretty but Avril Leanne - to me - looks at first glance like Avril Levine.

I like trendy and not so common names, but April has to be the Worst!! She is not scheduled to be born in April, is she??? That would be embarassing for her. I like the meaning that you have, but to me it negates the cute meaning to have a name like April.
