April-Inspired Baby Names for Springtime Babies

As a newborn photographer based in London, I have the privilege of capturing the precious moments of families welcoming their newest members. One of the joys of this work is witnessing the thoughtful process of choosing a name that reflects the essence and spirit of each baby. If you’re expecting an April baby and seeking inspiration for the perfect name, why not consider an April-inspired baby name that embody the vitality and charm of this special month?

April-Inspired Baby Names

When choosing a name, consider not only its sound but also the emotions and imagery it evokes. Whether it’s the freshness of spring, the beauty of blooming flowers, or the resilience of April showers, let the name be a reflection of the magic your little one brings into your world.

April: A classic name that embodies the spirit of the month, signifying rebirth and new beginnings. The Latin origins refer to fertilisation, which makes perfect sense as spring is a time for everything to begin to grow. You could also go for the French version Avril.

Atwell: An English baby name that means ‘lives by the spring’, this is the perfect unusual name for your baby boy.

Birdie: is a girl’s name of English, Swedish origin meaning “bird”. What captures the essence of spring more than the sweet chirping of birds? This charming name evokes the freshness and vitality of April, perfect for your little one

Blossom: Flower-inspired girl’s name that’s a nod to the blooms of spring.

Daisy: Initially a nickname for Margaret, Daisy is the iconic April birth flower symbolising innocence and purity. The name became popular again after Katy Perry named her baby girl Daisy.

Diamond: Inspired by April’s birthstone, symbolising honesty, purity, and resilience.

Lily: One of the most popular English flower names, she might not be the only Lily in the playground, but we’re sure you’ll love her name forever. Named after the Lily of the Valley flower that blooms in April in the UK.

Oliver: Related to the olive tree blossoming in Spring. The biblical olive tree symbolises fruitfulness and beauty and dignity. For a girl, it could be Olivia.

Rain/Raine: You know the saying: “April showers bring May flowers,” making the name Rain (or Rainn) a super cute choice.

Rose: Another popular spring flower, this old-fashioned name is finally having the revival it deserves.

Wesley: With the lovely meaning of “western meadow,” this name of British origin is a great option for a spring-inspired boy name.

I hope I gave you some ideas for April-Inspired Baby Names. Which one caught your attention? Or do you have any suggestions? Let me know in the comments.

In the smallest details, whole worlds exist.

A newborn foot becomes a landscape, lines like branches, paths, traces of something ancient and natural.

Macro photography allows us to see what the eye would normally rush past.
These lines will stretch, soften, change.

But right now, they tell a story of beginnings.

If you would like to capture your baby’s story of beginnings, let’s chat.

Forty-five.

Another year of stepping in front of the camera when it’s easier to stay behind it.

Another year of choosing to be seen when being invisible feels safer.

I photograph women because I believe they deserve to be celebrated. To exist in their own stories. To be remembered.

And every year on this day, I try to offer that same grace to myself.

Not because I feel ready. But because presence matters more than comfort.

I’ve made a pact with myself this year: to step in front of the camera more often. Not just on my birthday, but whenever I need the reminder that I belong in my own story too.

Because if I’m asking others to be brave enough to be seen, I need to practice that courage too.

Here’s to another year. To showing up. To being held in moments worth remembering.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” - Dorothea Lange

We don’t photograph just to freeze life.

We photograph so we can return to what mattered most.

So we can feel again, not just remember.

Photography is how we hold time with tenderness.

What moment would you love to hold close, to feel again?

A quiet look behind the scenes of a newborn session.

Time, patience and care, before anything else.

These moments are made to be held. 🤍

And I’d love to create yours too

There are moments that feel small, yet linger long after the camera is put away.

During a recent family session, I watched a little one explore the space, curious and unhurried. The parents laughed softly, sometimes holding their breath, sometimes simply letting the moment happen.

These are the moments that stay with me: the gentle glances, the tiny discoveries, the trust that lets a family relax and just be.

Photography is not just about a finished image. It’s about honouring these fleeting, imperfect seconds and turning them into something tangible, something to return to. 🤍

What small moments do you wish you could hold onto forever?
