ArchivesRe: What's with Avril?
in reply to a message by Greenery
I think they must have meant that its origins aren't clear. The name itself has never been hugely popular, but as you say, it's been around for a long time and is still in use.
It also gets used occasionally in Afrikaans for boys, by the way. One grew up to be the Springbok rugby captain ... a more butch occupation you can't imagine.

Thanks
Maybe you are right but I got the impression a few thought it wasn't "legitimate" *because of unclear origins* There's probably lots of names that are a lot more common that this could apply to also. I doubt they would be called non names. I think this "legitimacy" thing gets way out of hand with some name enthusiasts.
And thanks for that little piece of information. I really did laugh out loud!!
