April-Inspired Baby Names

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.

    Natalie and Sara aren’t just sisters-in-law, they’ve walked side by side through the early days of motherhood, holding space for each other’s struggles and joys.

This session was a reminder that we don’t have to do it alone. In motherhood, as in business. That when stories are shared, healing begins.

That sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer… is simply to be there.

And that’s the heart of my book: sharing stories, truths and experiences that make us feel less alone.

If you’ve ever felt supported by another mum, tag them below. Let them know they mattered.

And if you’re curious to read more stories like this one… keep your eyes peeled for news about the book release coming very soon!

    This photo? It’s actually two images merged into one.

The eye you see? Hers.

The reflection? 
A moment of feeding, held in her memory and now in this frame.

It’s not just editing. It’s storytelling.

Inspired by her journey. Created from emotion.

Because photography isn’t just about what you see, it’s about what you feel.

And this? This one feels like truth.
    Working from a new spot because staring at the same screen in the same room wasn’t doing me any favours. 

Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective (and some cloud therapy)

Do you have a go-to place when your brain needs a reboot?

Drop your favourite focus spot in the comments: your garden? a café? kitchen table? I’m all ears.
    Not my first time at the House of Lords… I know, I know. You’re probably thinking “Her again?!” 😅

But I promise, it never gets old.

Today was all about creativity (of course—hello, we’re talking about Adobe!), and how refreshing it is to chat with other small businesses in the creative world.

Huge thanks to the fab @adobeexpress team and @britainsmallbiz for putting together such a great course and for filling the room with so many lovely, inspiring people.

(And yes… I still take photos every single time I go!🙈) 

What’s your favourite ‘pinch me’ work moment so far?
    It’s hot.

It’s Friday.

And I’m spending the day not relaxing in the sun, but sweating over who’s going to print my book because Amazon KDP just isn’t cutting it. 

I didn’t think this part would be so hard…

Finding someone to literally hold your story? Turns out, it’s an emotional commitment. 

If you’re also spending your Friday in a plot twist you didn’t ask for, know you’re not alone.

We’ll get there. Maybe slightly late. Maybe slightly sweaty. But we will. 💪

Curious to see how this all turns out?

Tap follow or drop a 🍹 if you’re with me on your own chaotic ride.
    Before they were in your arms,
they were already in your heart.

That invisible bond, the quiet connection that grows long before you meet deserves to be remembered too.

This is what I love most about maternity photography: not just capturing how it looked,
but how it felt to carry love in your body 🤍

If this speaks to you, save it or send it to someone still waiting to meet their little one.
