Ignatius August first + middle name combo?

Hello berries! I’ve been lurking here for a while and I think it’s time I ask for advice.

I’m not pregnant, or even in a relationship, I’m just obsessed with names and would like to talk more about names with people who also like names. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite name for as long as I can remember has been [name_u]August[/name_u]. It’s timeless to me, evokes an idea of someone who is spunky and outgoing but also caring, and I love its meaning - majestic.

I also love the name [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]. I think it might be better as a middle name, but I couldn’t help but thinking how cool it would be as a first name. What do you guys think? Is [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] a good first + middle name combo, or should it be [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] instead? Any other ideas on names that go well with both? [name_f]My[/name_f] type of names seem to be somewhat old-fashioned, but still easily recognized. [name_f]My[/name_f] other favourite boy names are [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Leo[/name_u], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] and [name_m]Regulus[/name_m].

ignatius august is super cool, but august is definitely more wearable than ignatius and it fits better with your other names. so i prefer august ignatius!

I think [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] could work as a middle name but [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] sounds better.

Names I would pair with [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] as its middle:

[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Gerard[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Linwood[/name_m]

I think [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] is a mouthful.

[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] helps the flow a lot, and sounds very nice.

I really like how [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] sounds, and looks.

[name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] also works well.

I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]. It has a great flow. I also like [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u].

[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] is fabulous - bold and full of flair - I like it :slight_smile: [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] is a big name, but nicknames [name_u]Iggy[/name_u] and [name_m]Nate[/name_m] make it easier to wear.

I do think [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] fits better with [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_u]Leo[/name_u] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m], however, whereas [name_m]Regulus[/name_m] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] feel more in line with [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]?

Some similar names (with them):

[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Leander[/name_u]

[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

Some names that feel like they could work well with both as a sibling:

Thank you all so much! I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], it is a bit of a mouthful if flipped.
