Middle Name for Augusten

Boy Names
1

After what feels like years of debate and deliberation, we have finally decided to use [name]Augusten[/name] to get to our favorite nickname, [name]Gus[/name]. Our decision is firm; we have promised each other to never discuss it again. So rest assured, you have seen the last of my “[name]August[/name] v. [name]Augusten[/name] v. [name]Augustin[/name] v. [name]Augustus[/name]” posts. :wink:

But, we’re not done yet! We need a middle name for [name]Augusten[/name].

As some of you may know by now, we like what we call “spunky” middle names. Something that livens up the classic first names, but isn’t too “out there”. Our boys’ middle names are [name]Milo[/name] and [name]Rory[/name], to give you a taste of what I mean.

We’re considering:

[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Archer[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Davis[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Graham[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Jude[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Kit[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Reid[/name]
[name]Augusten[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]

What do you think?

We’d love suggestions!

Thanks!

First of all, congrats on deciding on the awesome [name]Augusten[/name]! Secondly, I think all your middle options are cool–but I’m particularly drawn to [name]Kit[/name]. It’s so fun and somehow familiar and fresh at the same time. The very epitome of “spunky!” (I should mention I also love [name]Jude[/name], and am most likely going to use it as a middle for my second born:))

You picked my favorite ‘[name]August[/name]’ name. :slight_smile: My favorites is [name]Rhys[/name]. I also like [name]Davis[/name], [name]Jude[/name], and [name]Reid[/name]. I don’t care for [name]Kit[/name] and [name]Augusten[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] is a bit rhymey.

Thanks, ladies! I’m so glad to see [name]Augusten[/name] is being warmly received! Most people seem to (strongly) prefer [name]August[/name] or [name]Augustus[/name], but [name]Augusten[/name] is the right choice for us.

@tfzolghadr - Thank you! We have a pretty easy last name, so all of the above sound fine.

@tawnysaurus - Isn’t [name]Kit[/name] great? I’ve loved it for awhile. It is definitely spunky – maybe a little too spunky for my husband. :slight_smile:

@emsky - You’re right, [name]Augusten[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] is a bit rhymey!

I like the suggestion of [name]Augusten[/name] [name]Hugo[/name], but I doubt my husband would go for it.

Thanks for the responses!

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Augusten[/name]! It is our top choice if our next one is a boy. Although we may spell it [name]Augustin[/name].

Anyway, my favorite combo out of yours is [name]Augusten[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]. [name]Rhys[/name] is another name we are thinking about.

Our personal favorite combo is [name]Augusten[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] or [name]Augusten[/name] [name]Philip[/name].

Good luck!
