It's one of my new favorites.

Even though August Rush was a disappointing movie, it did introduce me to the name, which I think is very strong for a boy or a girl. I prefer it on a boy, though.

It's been a nickname of mine for almost a decade (long story there), though I don't mind if it's unisex, but I think Augusta is much cooler on a female.

It's all boy to me mostly because it's a traditional, classic male name where I live (it's even in the top 100). I could only see it as a girls name in an English speaking context since it's also a month then. But I still think it a wonderful name for a boy (and in fact my favorite name) and not so much for a girl.

I like August, but only for a boy. To me it sounds too masculine for a girl.

It's all boy to me and I love it.

Just reminds me too much of the month. I dont like it at all.

All male to me, thanks to Augustus. I love it in the middle, but that's because I am no fan of Gus. Gus is all Cinderella's fat mouse friend, to me. (but then I have a princess obsessed almost 4 year old girl...) :D

I adore August on a girl

Well, I like it. though of course I am a bit biased, it's my first name (though I go by my middle, which is quite obviously Rose.)

I think I do prefer it on a boy, though for a girl it could also work, and obviously I've lived with it for quite a while and haven't ever been bullied or have had any negative things said about it. the nn Gusty is also quite cute, in my opinion.

Love August, but only for a boy. Henry August is my favorite.

I understand the rationale for why August could be a feminine name. It is, afterall, a month and other month names like April, May and June are always feminine.

---

But August was named after Emperor Augustus, so in my mind August is all male. Plus, I know a man named August, so that just reinforces it for me.

---

With so many male names like Avery, Aubrey and Rory being used for girls, I'd like to see August stay firmly planted in the male category.

I love it on a boy. It's a fantastic, strong, masculine name, so I think it's best as a first name. I'm really not picky about that though.

The only person I know named August is female. It suits her perfectly.

I'm thinking for a boy more than a girl.
I really can't imagine a little girl named August.
For a middle name, though ...
That actually might work for both.
(:

for a boy, definately.
its not my style really, but its perfectly acceptable for a boy imo.
