[Opinions] April
April has grown on me a lot lately - I think more so as a middle name than as a first name, but I'm liking it a lot either way. It feels very fresh and "springy" to me. What are your impressions of April? Any combo suggestions? (In that same vein, do you feel the vowels would run together too much if April were used as a mn for a name that ends in '-a', like Honora? - or is the short 'a'/long 'a' distinction difference enough?)Also, because I can't be fussed to make a separate post for this: what is your impression of Dorian Malachi? I've been trying to find a middle name for Dorian that really strikes me; I thought of this yesterday and I love the sound of it. But is it too mismatched?

I like Dorian Malachi a lot:-)I'm also a big fan of April (it's my birth month).
Personally, I don't have a problem with Honora April, but then I'm not a native English speaker and in Croatian almost all female names end in -a so I'm used to it.April Theodora

Ohh I like April! Sometimes it feels like a problem that many people feel very depressed exactly in april, but well... it is still a friendly, fresh name. :)Well, April Sophia sounds better than Sophia April, so I guess it woud be better not to use -a ending names, when the middle name is April.

I think April is quite pretty. I've never met an April, nor do I associate it with any sort of specific time period or grouping - it has a nice stand-alone feeling. I dislike when ends and beginnings of names run together, so I'd personally rule out any "a" ending first names if April was a second name. I think April would really sparkle paired with a name ending in "ette/et" or "el"...or "ine". I like April in the first name spot for most of these, but the other way around can work too:Juliette April
