That aren’t [name_u]August[/name_u] preferably! [name_m]Just[/name_m] not a fan for whatever reason.
Something regal, with a bit of weight behind it and the quirky-retro vibe? Don’t mind origin or meaning particularly.

I think [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] totally fits this! We always planned to use [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] and for various reasons ended up with [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] instead.
Ther’s also [name_m]Augusten[/name_m], [name_m]Augustin[/name_m], and [name_u]Augustine[/name_u]

Thanks everyone!
@katinka [name_m]Nicodemus[/name_m] is fab and I’ve never had it on my list before, same with [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]. Definitely considering readding [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m] too but the spelling always trips me up.
@VEL definitely got the vibe here, thank you! Considering [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m], [name_m]Marcellus[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] and [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m].
@jessibi thank you! some fab names here. I had [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] and [name_u]Leander[/name_u] on my long list but now thinking about moving them over.
@EdgeOfTheMeadow [name_m]Quinton[/name_m] and [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] are right up my street. Never heard [name_m]Wystan[/name_m] before but I quite like it.
@Greyblue Fabulous options as always. [name_m]Algernon[/name_m] definitely needs some more thought from me.
@Ellensanazaro I do really like [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] (good pick!) but not sold on [name_u]Finn[/name_u] which feels a bit inevitable.
@Elle1 I like them all more than [name_u]August[/name_u] but not as much as [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], no idea why.
@18_25 Oh I love [name_m]Albion[/name_m] and [name_m]Perseus[/name_m], definitely adding to long list.

I love that about Aloysius! I think it gives him an extra quirky-cool clunkiness but I suppose the flipside is that it could be frustrating to wear…
