[Opinions] Re: Janvier
in reply to a message by Ismene
Has it ever been used as a name? I can't see it as one, since I took French for years and know it's the word for January. I've heard of people named January and I feel the same way about it.
Avril doesn't work on a boy, in my opinion. It may be because I don't care for the idea of "reclaiming" most male names that have become female, but also because of the obvious association with Avril Lavigne and a much less obvious one - Anne's novel "Averil's Atonement" in Anne of Green Gables (I loved those books as a kid). :)

I don't personally know of anyone who carries the name but I'm sure it's a possibly, seeing as, as you mentioned, there are people out there with month names. I just love the sound of it and thought since it's so close to Javier, and that January IS used as a name, that it could be doable
