our last name is [name]Storm[/name]. Does [name]August[/name] [name]Storm[/name] as a boy’s name sound too much like a weather condition? We would plan to call him [name]Augie[/name] most of the time.
What do you think?
Thanks.
I’m really undecided on this one . . .
On the one hand, I usually think it’s best as a general policy to avoid names that sound like “phrases,” at the risk of the name being a source of teasing, or sounding somehow overly whimsical/ not to be taken seriously. With [name]August[/name] [name]Storm[/name], this takes the direction of almost feeling like the name of a cartoon weatherman.
On the other hand, I really love the name [name]August[/name] [name]Storm[/name]! It’s very strong and handsome, and I think the association with the literal summer thunderstorm is actually really very cool.
One other thing to consider: it’s a little difficult to say out loud because of the two st sounds back to back.

I’m sorry to say it but I think [name]August[/name] [name]Storm[/name] is a bit too much. I do think it’s weather related or a very poetical name. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but I can see a lot of people, young and old, getting a chuckle out of the name and saying “oh, [name]August[/name] [name]Storm[/name]!” in a non-offensive or demeaning way…but he could get tired of it.
[name]Just[/name] my two cents. Perhaps it’s not that bad and I’m just immature =)
I agree with Jlm 100%
What if you used [name]August[/name] as the middle name to give him the option to use it or be called [name]Augie[/name] but also have the option of a solid first and last that will always be taken seriously?
I do love the name [name]August[/name], but I think it’s a bit much with [name]Storm[/name] 
Have you thought about [name]Augustus[/name] or [name]Augustin[/name]? He could still be [name]Augie[/name]…
[name]August[/name] is one of my favorite names. [name]August[/name] [name]Storm[/name] definitely sounds like a weather condition, but I’d put a more positive spin on it, he sounds like a super hero!
Maybe you would like the name [name]Angus[/name]? I love [name]August[/name] and [name]Angus[/name] equally and I can’t decide between the two!
