I don't think August needs a nickname but some people may try to give him one. I knew my sister Nicole never wanted more than one nn which was Nicky but I insisted on coming up with every possible nn that I could. She actually liked some of them, like Snickerdoodle. But she hated knick-nack paddy-whack. She also hated when I called her Nicola with the same pronunciation as the Ricola ads. Truthfully my mom started the Nicola nn, but I kept using it. But only when she would refuse to answer me. My mother also gave her the nn Nick Louie since her mn was Louise. That was her first nn after Nicky. Geez Louise is what my mom would say sometimes when my sister would misbehave.

Sorry I went off topic a little. If you hate Augie and Gus then you don't have to call him that but that doesn't mean that others won't. Plus August might even like one of those nn's even. Wolfgang with the nn Wolf / Wolfe probably would happen. So if you like the nn Wolfe then Wolfgang might be a better choice if your husband hates Gus and Augie so much.
