Looking for ideas for a middle name for baby boy August (nn Auggie), due in April.
Big brother’s name is North Avery (nn Nori).
We like gender-neutral (or, like, lightly boy), easy to pronounce names. I’d love to find a beautiful botanical, nature, star, or Alaska-related name but most of our favorites almost make a sentence (August Day) or are too completely a girl name (August Poppy).
Some we like:
August Juniper (really wanted to name a girl Juniper but not planning another child)
August Reed
August Florian
August Linden
August Francis
August Alder
Any suggestions? We’re not afraid of very unusual names but don’t love creative spellings. Thank you!
wow North Avery is stunning!! from your list i like August Juniper the best!
my suggestions
August Jude
August Andrew
August Ambrose
August Atlas
August River
August Leander
August Oleander
August Bellamy
August Wilde
August Tate
and i have August Matthew on my list
off your list I love [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Florian[/name_u], and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]!
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Juneau[/name_u] comes to mind! Not only is [name_u]Juneau[/name_u] a city in [name_u]Alaska[/name_u], but it’s a neutral or masculine spelling of the feminine [name_f]Juno[/name_f], so there’d be no issues with gender-swapping the name of a deity (: also it harkens back to the lovely [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]!
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Florian[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] are lovely.
Absolutely love [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]Avery[/name_u]! Such a striking name!
From your list I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Florian[/name_u] & [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Alder[/name_u] with my favourite being [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Florian[/name_u]. I think [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is sweet but in my eyes a little too feminine as I just see [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] on girls
You’ve had a few suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

Moving away from direct [name_u]Alaska[/name_u] inspired middle names for [name_u]August[/name_u] here are some more suggestions that you may like
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Florian[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. I also like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Alder[/name_u], but not as much.
other ideas:

I find many names working with [name_u]August[/name_u], I find [name_u]Florian[/name_u] and [name_u]Francis[/name_u] very handsome and combo is nice. What is keeping you from it? I think you should not worry about whether or not middle is slightly feminine, what matters more IMHO is: “is name used for boys”.
[name_u]August[/name_u] is such a great name! Of your list I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] best. Here are a few of my favorite nature and celestial names
