August names

This may be a strange request but I’m looking for girl names related to the month of [name_u]August[/name_u].

Our daughter’s name holds so much meaning to us. Her first name, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is her birth flower and a colour of the rainbow (she’s a rainbow baby), her first middle name, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] means happiness/good fortune and her second, [name_f]Cara[/name_f] is friend in Gaelic which DH called her bump.

We’re expecting another daughter mid [name_u]August[/name_u] and just wanted to to see if there were any names out there, that we liked, which could also share that quality. Hopefully, something natural, like a bump nickname, will come up in time too just like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Cara[/name_f] did for [name_f]Vi[/name_f].

Thanks in advance!

[name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivine[/name_f]/[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Peridot[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] names: [name_f]Leona[/name_f]/[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]

[name_f]Leandra[/name_f] (means lion - as in [name_m]Leo[/name_m], if it that’s her star sign.)
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f] (for Virgo)
[name_f]Astraea[/name_f] (for Virgo)
[name_f]Summer[/name_f]/[name_u]Sunny[/name_u] (if [name_u]August[/name_u] is a summer month where you are)
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] (the eighth month)
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] (has a sunny meaning, if it is a summer month for you - also gaelic, so it would connect to Violet’s middle subtly)

I’m gonna second [name_f]Leona[/name_f]/[name_f]Leonie[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], and [name_f]Summer[/name_f]

I’ll add [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], and [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] (means lion)

You guys are amazing! Thank you for all the fantastic suggestions so far.

There’s [name_f]Aria[/name_f] which means lion.

In the US, poppies are one of the birth flowers for August, so Poppy would work. I don’t know if it’s too match-y with Violet for you though. Whether it is or isn’t too match-y, Poppy could also be a nickname for Penelope.

Aurelia - starts with the “au-” of August; means “the golden one” which reminds me of the sunniness of August (and opens up for the lovely nicknames Sunny and Ray/Rae).

Leona - works with Violet stylistically (imo); a nod to the Leo star sign on the earlier end of August.

Beatrix i[/i] - a similar meaning to Felicity; spunky yet vintage like Felicity too; the nickname Bee reminds me of summer too.

Thanks everyone!

We already have Beatrix and Penelope on our list. I love Eilidh! We also have Niamh on our middle name list which means bright/radiant and Eleanor, Eleanora and Elena too. We’ve added Poppy, Olive, Leona, Leonora, Leonie and Peridot to our middle name list too :slight_smile:

Another [name_m]Leo[/name_m] name variant that hasn’t been mentioned is [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Ada[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] (all mean noble- a [name_m]Leo[/name_m] sign characteristic)
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Calla[/name_f] are all flowers in season in [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] might be nice (gladiolus is in the iris family and is another flower that represents [name_u]August[/name_u] along with [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], which is on your list)
[name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] (Irish name- golden princess)
[name_f]Idalia[/name_f] or [name_f]Kira[/name_f] (both related to the sun)
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Coral[/name_f]

Sorry for any repeats! I’d like to second the suggestions of [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], and [name_f]Peridot[/name_f].

I’d also like to add [name_f]Leocadia[/name_f] as one of my favorite [name_m]Leo[/name_m] names!
