Help[Opinions] Does August need a nickname?
As some may recall, my husband and I are considering either August or Wolfgang for our baby boy. (Simon was in the running, but has been eclipsed.)
We've been trying out August for a while, to see if it sticks. But one thing keeps cropping up. I have a coworker who keeps insisting (playfully) that August will be called Gus or Augie and is calling the baby Gus.
This raises a critical question. I like Gus OK, but my husband dislikes both nicknames.
What do you think? Will people shorten August? I figured there was no real danger of this since the name is only two syllables. But my coworker is starting to make me wonder...
As a sidenote, we realize that people will shorten Wolfgang, if we pick it. Wolfe is OK with us.
