Would you think it stupid? Assume I named my son simply after the month? This is the reaction I’ve been getting a lot (not that I have a son called [name]August[/name] - one day hopefully!).
Happiness? Lol. I love the name [name]August[/name] It’s a real name so it’s not stupid in the slightest.
Well I love the name [name]August[/name]! It is one of my favorites!
I do think that month names are tricky. If your name is [name]April[/name], your birthday is most likely in [name]April[/name]. [name]August[/name] should be the same. Or the month should hold some meaning to the parents. I would love to use the name, but probably won’t unless we conceive in [name]August[/name]. My mother’s birthday is in [name]August[/name] too, so I guess there is that reason. My mother pointed out that [name]August[/name] can be the short form of [name]Augustus[/name] and [name]Augustine[/name] though. I like [name]Augustin[/name].
It isn’t [name]August[/name] after the month though. The month was named after the emperor
I’ve been wondering this as well, since [name]August[/name] is on our list (I like the idea of a little [name]Gus[/name]). I like it a lot, but we’ve started considering [name]Augustus[/name] and [name]Augustin[/name] as alternatives due to the month association (we are due in [name]January[/name], so… yeah), and also concern that it may read feminine. I can’t think of another month, day or season name that isn’t feminine: [name]January[/name], [name]Wednesday[/name], [name]Summer[/name], [name]Winter[/name], [name]Sunday[/name], [name]April[/name], [name]May/name, [name]June[/name] are all feminine.
My associations with the name are [name]Tommy[/name]'s girlfriend on 3rd [name]Rock[/name] from the [name]Sun[/name], and more recently a male character on Once Upon a Time (who is rather handsome). It felt feminine to me until the latter. Now it feels masculine, yet soft. A gentleman in the purest sense of the word.
I love [name]August[/name]! It’s been on my middle name list for years.
I chose it for my parents, their wedding anniversary is in [name]August[/name] as well as my father’s birthday, and my boyfriend likes it because the history with [name]Julius[/name] and [name]Augustus[/name] [name]Caesar[/name]. “There were just 10 months before they came along…” He says all the time. (haha)
I would be thrilled and most likely compliment you on his name.
[name]August[/name] sounds like a child wise beyond his years. I think it’s a wonderful name.
Also, consider [name]Augustine[/name] if it flows better with your choice of middle name or your surname.
[name]August[/name] is brilliant!!I would love to meet a lil [name]August[/name]!
[name]Augustine[/name] in my opinion sounds feminine.[name]Augustus[/name] is okay.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]August[/name]. It was I’m my top 3 until the hubby nixed it.
I love it. It’s definitely a strong name. It means exalted one, inspiring awe or admiration but it also has all of the good associations of summer. I think it would be lovely on a boy or a grown man.
I love [name]August[/name]! I would assume you chose it because you love it, and have great taste in names!
I really really like [name]August[/name] but I don’t know if I would ever have the courage to use it. If I met a little [name]August[/name] I wouldn’t think it was stupid just that he had a lovely name.
I love the name [name]August[/name]. I would think it was very sweet on a little boy. It’s on my list as a middle name because it’s a family name, and I think it’s a great name even if you don’t have a particular reason for choosing it.
I love [name]August[/name]! I would love to meet a little boy with the name. It makes me think of the USA show, Covert Affairs (which used to be my favorite show, but honestly, it’s been a bit lacking since the first season)–a mini Auggie [name]Anderson[/name] would be completely adorable. A mini [name]August[/name] would be adorable, regardless. It’s a MN on my own list, [name]Jack[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]Cole[/name].
[name]August[/name] is my absolutely favourite boys name! It has been for almost 2 years now, that’s the longest I’ve ever consistently loved a name for so…I would love to meet a little [name]August[/name], just not too many. I hope it’s not too popular by the time I begin to have children!
That I [name]LOVE[/name] his name <3 <3
100% love would be my reaction. It’s my top choice for a boy I’d be thrilled to see it on someone else’s son especially since I’m far from using it myself!
I have relatives who named their little boy [name]August[/name]. It’s a super cute name.
