Voted [name_f]Betty[/name_f] but my #1[name_f][/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
IMO a nickname making sense and being usable are completely different things. I’d just consider it a nickname unrelated to the given name.
Which spelling do you prefer?
Curious if these go together or I’m overthinking it?
That’s right, I’m still obsessed with [name_m]Hyacinth[/name_m]— and as indecisive as ever.
As always, this is not for a real child so usability is not a concern!
If you met a boy Augustine, you would guess it was pronounced… (I’m bad at writing out pronunciations but I think you’ll understand what I’m getting at
I would say AW-gus-teen (I assume that’s what you meant by the second one, so I voted for it!!)
Yep! I knew something was off with how I wrote it lol

if a parent and child have names that start with the same 2 letters and share similar sounds, would you assume the child’s name is honouring the parent?
think cassandra names her baby callista, victor has a viveca, katherine has a kasper, edmund has an eden, etc…
it wouldn’t really be “guessing” how it’s pronounced. More my standard way of pronouncing the written form Augustine is aw-GUS-tin. Like Saint Augustine…i’ve met a couple of boys through the years with this name. And my parents were married at Saint Augustine’s church.
It would more be a surprise if that wasn’t the pronunciation. I would assume it was like the default I’ve always known.
combo of the week poll
Which name do you like best?
I think I lean -teen on instinct but I wouldn’t be surprised by the other! [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] would definitely be the tin pronunciation for me.
Which do prefer as a first name ?
AWE-gus-teen. This is is how I’ve always pronounced it, girl or boy.
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] name is a strong word but I’d think it’s not a coincidence. More “the similarity is cute” than “I’m naming after myself”
Favorite ?
sorry, similar but different poll
