I know that [name]August[/name] is a boys’ name and I probably won’t get good responses but I just wanted to see what other people thought. My husband like about 3 names for girls, ( I swear I’ve suggested HUNDREDS, and made him look through the SSA top 1000.) And the other day he told me he liked [name]August[/name] for a girl. I personally think it’s kind of cute, and I’ve always thought [name]August[/name] was kind of feminine sounding ( No offense! ) I was thinking of [name]Linnea[/name] or [name]Eloise[/name] as a middle name. I can use pretty much whatever I want as a middle, since hubby doesn’t really care. (Except [name]Eleanor[/name], which makes me sad!) So what do you think? Is it terrible?
i first heard [name]August[/name] as a girls’ name, so i have always thought of it and loved it as one. i went on to really love [name]Augusta[/name] much more, but i still think [name]August[/name] could be a pretty girls’ name.
I definitely prefer [name]August[/name] as a boys name but I think it’s possible to work for a girl. I’m not sure how popular [name]August[/name] is for boys at the moment, as long as it’s not in the top 200 or so (and depending on where you live) there’s probably a good chance that she would be
the only [name]August[/name] in her class, female or otherwise. Is there any chance your husband would be willing to put [name]August[/name] in the middle slot?
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]August[/name] could be a very cute name!
I’d prefer to see [name]Augusta[/name] on a girl - but I don’t think [name]August[/name] on a girl is terrible. My female cat is [name]August[/name] - we call her Auggie, which I think is unattractive lol. [name]August[/name] [name]Linnea[/name] is lovely.
I would love to use [name]August[/name] as a middle name, but the only names my husband likes ( and therefore will use ) are [name]Tierney[/name], [name]Bree[/name], [name]Brittney[/name] and [name]August[/name]. 
[name]August[/name] is my fave out of these FOR SURE. He has shot down all my favorites ([name]Nora[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Wren[/name]…) [name]August[/name] is not popular where we live. All the children in our area are named [name]Kaylie[/name], [name]Bryce[/name], [name]Jayden[/name] or something like Destyniee. [name]August[/name] is totally unheard of for boys or girls where we live. It’s currently ranked 429. And I would die of happiness if I could use something like [name]Eloise[/name], but hubby is totally stubborn.
Well, I say go for [name]August[/name], then. Amongst all the trendies, [name]August[/name] will stick out in a good way.
I love [name]August[/name] for a girl! [name]August[/name] [name]Linnea[/name] is beautiful!
I prefer [name]August[/name] for a boy but if your husband only has about four names he considers usable, then go for [name]August[/name] for sure! My second fave is [name]Tierney[/name]. Country singer [name]Garth[/name] [name]Brooks[/name] has a daughter named [name]August[/name] [name]Anna[/name] so it does work for a girl. [name]August[/name] [name]Linnea[/name] is a very pretty combo! Good luck, [name]Mischa[/name].
Honestly, I really dislike [name]August[/name] for a girl. [name]Augusta[/name] and [name]Augustine[/name]/[name]Augustina[/name] are so pretty, why not use one of those with the nickname [name]August[/name] instead?
Oh, I do like [name]August[/name] for a girl or a boy! [name]August[/name] [name]Linnea[/name] is gorgeous, though [name]August[/name] [name]Eloise[/name] is nice, too.
I love it for a girl or boy!
I only like it for a boy. I find all the [name]August[/name]- names rather heavy for a girl.
[name]August[/name] is one of those names I like for boys and girls. Since [name]August[/name] is the only name your husband likes that you like, I definitely think you should use it. Would you get full range on the middle name?
The only Augusts I’ve met in real life were girls 
I like it!
I first heard [name]August[/name] as a girl’s name, she was a character on one of my favorite shows (3rd [name]Rock[/name] from the [name]Sun[/name]) So I’ve always loved it as a girl’s name. It’s a contender for my 2nd daughter.
Very cute for a girl! It’s different without being ugly or weird, very pretty!
[name]August[/name] [name]IMO[/name] is unisex. I think it is adorable on either a girl or a boy. Plus, it has the added bonus of both your Dh AND yourself liking it. I say go for it!
Thank you guys for being so helpful! It’s good to know that not everyone will think it’s a boys’ name if we decide to use it. I just wanted to make sure it didn’t sound like the trend of boys’ names for girls, which I’m not a fan of. And to answer agirlinred’s question, I pretty much can do whatever I want for the middle name, as long as hubby doesn’t despise the name because I don’t want to use a name he totally hates. I would just feel bad about it, lol. Plus he has told me that if we can agree on a name for our first daughter, I can name our second (if we have a second) whatever I want. Thanks again for your opinions!
Whilst I do like it for a boy, it is definitely very feminine sounding. I love it on a girl… I think I actually prefer it to [name]Augusta[/name] (which I do like). I like [name]August[/name] [name]Linnea[/name] and [name]August[/name] [name]Eloise[/name]… If it’s between [name]Bree[/name] and [name]August[/name] - totally [name]August[/name]… plus you get to name your next little girl! [name]Just[/name] for the record, [name]August[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name] would be fabulous sisters!
