  1. One of my best friends is named April…bobsie if you’re reading this, hi ;), and I love this name! I think it’s unique, yet bobtacular.

  2. I’m a baby-boomer named April. I didn’t encounter another April until I went to college. I loved that for me:-)
    I’ve been asked all my life if I was born in April and the answer is NO – I was born in November. LOL I do love my name and can’t imagine being named anything else.

  3. I’m so very lucky to be married to the most amazingly smart, sexy, and hilariously funny woman. This magical creature’s name is, of course, April. We married on
    The first day of April, because this woman has courted my heart, mind, body, and soul. And I will be a fool for this beautiful chic for the rest of my time here on Earth. We have two boys, and a girl. One son was born in April, our middle child was conceived in April without a doubt. Our daughter’s name I recently found out is considered synonymous with April. I can not believe how blessed we are. Things are tough right now. It’s a challenging time to be raising a family here in America. But if I could do it all over again, I’d be insanely stupid not to have this fine human by my side. She’s my everything. Whomever said that if you’re lucky enough to have an April in your life, then you need to cherish and treasure her, so she will stay in your life was not lying. I love her to my very core, and hope desperately that I can learn how to be a better husband, father, and partner in time. Cuz if I lose this special lady it would be a devastation that I could not ever make it back from.
