April instead of August?

oceanmama97 · July 12, 2021, 6:37pm

I fell in love with [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but I’m concerned it’s tacky matchy with [name_f]Summer[/name_f]. I felt like maybe [name_f]April[/name_f] would be a tad less tacky. So I have started to consider [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I never liked [name_f]April[/name_f] before but now I’m starting to love it! I do prefer the sound of [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. How do you feel about the repetitive Ay sounds in [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? Would you prefer [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]? I love the meaning [name_f]Hope[/name_f] holds. To me it’s enough of a established name for the combo to not be wordy. It just so happens all the names I love …might be considered to matchy?
With all this rambling out there… what do you think?

[name_f]Summer[/name_f] & [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] & [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] & [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Or[/name_u] if you don’t like those maybe
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] & [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f]

Thanks

I like Summer & Hope! A month name just doesn’t really go with Summer to me… they’re all too related. Summer & Hope is super adorable!

Summer & Hope are lovely together!

i prefer August over April though, April seems like a more spring name to me.

i like [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] best, although any month name paired with [name_f]Summer[/name_f] may be a bit much. i’m not a fan of [name_u]August[/name_u] on a girl and [name_u]August[/name_u] IS [name_f]Summer[/name_f] to me.

I don’t think [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_u]August[/name_u] are cheesy and I really love [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_f]April[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] and [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] are gorgeous too - especially the latter!

Thank you!!

[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_f]April[/name_f] are definitely more matchy and tacky than [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] in my opinion. [name_u]August[/name_u] was a name before it was a month.

Would you think [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_u]August[/name_u] to be too matchy ?

[name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_f]Hope[/name_f] are lovely !

If you already have a Summer, I would say August and April are a bit matchy…

Hope and Summer are lovely!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there! I just posted on your other post before I read this one here! I LOVE the idea of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as a sister of [name_f]Summer[/name_f]. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] + [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is absolutely darling! So spunky, classic, and stylish together. I don’t see this as one of your combinations, but I suggest [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]August[/name_u]. I love the subtle connection of [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] when it’s in the middle spot versus [name_u]August[/name_u] as a fn. I also much prefer [name_u]August[/name_u] over [name_f]April[/name_f] as it seems fresh and modern.
