Julian Augustin or Julian Dash?

Help us with this middle name!!! [name_u]Baby[/name_u] boy due in [name_u]August[/name_u], which is also my birth month and his grandmothers birth month, hence [name_m]Augustin[/name_m]. [name_u]Dash[/name_u] is family name. [name_u]Love[/name_u] both!

[name_m]Augustin[/name_m]! It has meaning for you and seems more enduring to me.

[name_u]Dash[/name_u] gets my vote. the same ending in [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] hits my ear strange, personally.

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u].
Not [name_m]Augustin[/name_m].

If you won’t use just [name_u]August[/name_u] then I’d suggest you use [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Dash[/name_u].

For me I get a double [name_m]Roman[/name_m] thing from [name_m]Julian[/name_m] ([name_m]Julius[/name_m] [name_m]Caesar[/name_m]) and [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] (Emperor). This might be semi intentional though and thus not a problem for you?

yes that’s my husband’s same reaction too! He thinks it’s too heavy on the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] name origins.

I like [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Dash[/name_u]! It sounds more lively in my opinion and still honors family.

[name_u]Dash[/name_u]! [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] is too rhyme-y for my liking although [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] is a nice alternative.

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] or [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Dash[/name_u] for sure :slight_smile: I also get very [name_m]Roman[/name_m] vibes from [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] but [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] feels just right.
