[Opinions] Re: April
in reply to a message by Lily
Well...I do think it's probably the most dated month name, but I don't think it's too dated for use. April is pretty, informal, and sweet, and I like it quite a bit.

I dunno... I think May and June feel WAY more dated than April. If I hear the names May and June, I immediately think old lady... and for June, I tend to think frumpy... w/ the exception of May working as a filler mn. April feels much younger and full of life.

May and June don't feel dated to me because they're being rediscovered as old-fashioned/hipsterish names. When I picture a May or June, I picture both old ladies and toddlers. When I picture an April, it's more the twenty- or thirty-something set, so, for me, it has a hint of datedness. I still think it's pretty, but I don't consider it a young name.

Ic... If I heard someone named a western kid June, I'd prob'ly be wondering what the parents were thinking... prob'ly because it strikes me as so ugly... Though Jun w/out the e in Jpns. doesn't seem so bad... just needs to be part of the name rather than the whole name.
