We have [name_u]August[/name_u] on our short list for a boy name, but I’ve recently been hearing of it for girls too, and it’s definitely grown on me.
Our son is [name_u]Carson[/name_u] [name_m]Russell[/name_m]. Possible name combos for [name_u]August[/name_u] would be [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Roselyn[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Lauren[/name_u]. Open to more middle name suggestions too. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] are honor names, but nothing is set in stone.
Side note - besides [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] (which leans masculine to me) are there are any other common nicknames for [name_u]August[/name_u] as a girl?
[name_u]August[/name_u] itself could be a nickname for [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] or [name_u]Augustine[/name_u], too, but it’s nice on its own as well!
I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u]! [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] starts to sound a bit descriptive, like a flower blooming in August…?
[name_u]August[/name_u] is so charming I like it a lot!
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Roselyn[/name_f] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] are lovely! [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rosette[/name_f] came to mind!
Maybe combining the sounds of the first and middle for nicknames, you could make Ari/Ary, [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Aro[/name_m], [name_f]Aura[/name_f]? Maybe [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] or [name_f]Attie[/name_f] too?
Auggie and Gus do lean masculine but I have been thinking how spunky and unexpected they would be on a baby girl. Otherwise Aggie, or Gussie is a nn for Augusta if that appeals.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] for a girl! I think [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is so pretty but can also see how it just sounds like words… my favorite middle is [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f].
Seconding [name_u]Ozzie[/name_u] (and Oz) for a nickname! Not sure that [name_u]Gussie[/name_u] is a better option than [name_m]Auggie[/name_m], but I have read a book with an [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] nn [name_u]Gussie[/name_u].
I do prefer [name_u]August[/name_u] for a boy and personally would use [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] however I can see the appeal with [name_u]August[/name_u] for a girl she feels fresh, upbeat and has a summery bright aesthetic. I think [name_u]Carson[/name_u] & [name_u]August[/name_u] do feel well matched both being outdoorsy with a southern flair
I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] she feels summery bright and has a lovely southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f] sound. I think [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a bit too descriptive but [name_f]Roselyn[/name_f] works and again feels very southern to get the honour in for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] you could use [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosanna[/name_f] both sound lovely with [name_u]August[/name_u]. Honestly though I’m really loving [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] such a sparkly name.
Nickname wise I like the idea of [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] a sweet vintage nickname!
I love [name_u]August[/name_u] for a girl! [name_u]Gussie[/name_u] is a cute nickname.
I second the comment on combining the first with the middle name would give you a good nickname:
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] or Laurel/Lauren could be “Allie/Ollie”
[name_u]August[/name_u] Rose/lyn “Ari/Arlie”
LOVE [name_u]August[/name_u] on a girl! Personally I think [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] is adorable and would totally call a girl that. It gives me the same vibes as [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]!
I love [name_u]August[/name_u] for a girl! I know (of) one whose nickname is [name_u]Gus[/name_u]. It’s so cute. [name_u]Gussie[/name_u] and [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] would also be adorable! I also have a cousin (who is a girl) whose middle name is [name_u]August[/name_u]. It’s such a delight on that sunny little girl that she is!
From your list, [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] is absolutely my favorite. That’s a beautiful, beautiful name. I might suggest [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] for middles as well!
I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Roselyn[/name_f]! [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] is charming, as is [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but there may be a little too much description for some. (I personally like it, hence my combos [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] )
I like it for both girls and boys; usually boys, but [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] Swift’s song made me see it on girls. Before that, I saw it masculine because of [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] from [name_u]Wonder[/name_u]. As for nicknames, I’m not sure if any are common, per se, but some ideas I had were~
[name_u]August[/name_u] itself could also be short for [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] or [name_f]Augustina[/name_f], which are far more feminine if that is what you would like.
