Very excited to announce that we welcomed our third little boy, [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u] “[name_u]Gus[/name_u],” on [name_u]June[/name_u] 4th! He joins big brothers [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] “[name_u]Cal[/name_u]” and [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] “[name_u]Jem[/name_u]” <3
Picking a third boy name was so tricky this time around! But we’re American expats living in Germany, so we chose August to honor my husband’s ancestor who emigrated from Germany to the United States. His middle name was inspired by T.S. Eliot, my favorite poet, and it’s also a bit of a nod to Elliott and his “traveler” friend in the movie E.T., as we hope to impart in Gus a sense of wanderlust and spirit of adventure.
I’m so thankful for the amazing Nameberry community for helping us get creative and find something we love just as much as Cal and Jem’s names!
