August is my favorite name for a boy. I abolutely adore it! It was also the middle name of my mother's maternal grandfather and it is a very classy name where I'm from. I read on a Swedish name site that it was the most popular name in the end of the 1800s and approximately one fourth (!) of the Swedish male population was named August (first or middle name).
I dislike the fact that many (English-speaking) people think it is just a month name and I have a hard time seeing it as a unisex name. There is nothing trendy about August in my opinion and I think you made a great choice when you named your son August. I also see it as quite an international name. In short, I love it. ;)
