Love this name! It is definatly going to be used on my first son. My grandfather was Augustine, which in my opinion is more feminine than August. I say definatly go for it!

I prefer August as a girl's name.

I love August by itself and not as a nickname for anything. I don't find it feminine at all. I know 13 year old boy with the name and he is the only person I've ever met with it.

I really like this name, which I think of as masculine, but I still think of Augustus Gloop, the Gluton on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when I hear this name.

I've never seen this as a girl's name. I love it on a boy!

I like August. I don't love it, but I like it. I think it's better suited as a middle name, and I hate Augustus.

It's very masculine to me. I can't see it on a girl at all.

My absolute favourite boys name

Hands down, no competion. My first son will be August Malachi "Gus", hubby can like it or lump it- I'll let him name the 2nd if he really objects ;)

Yes, there is the month thing. And I'm prepared for that. It's partly why I hope my first son is born Jan- March- as far away from August as possible ;) I'd be harded pressed to say why I love the name so much, I just do. I think it's handsome, spunky and classic, all at the same time. Great name.

I love August for a boy! I have had one family member comment that August is a little feminine, but no one else. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback otherwise. I think it is so handsome... a real gentleman's name.

August is nms for either gender.

I think that August is a nice name for a boy! I don't see the name as being feminine, nor do I think that the month association would make it such.

It works on either gender, but I'd prefer Augustine on a girl.

And just because something is associated with a month, doesn't mean it'll be feminine. Personally, I like October on a boy.

I know an August in his 40's, and very handsome too. I don't see anything feminine about August at all.

I love August for a boy and I find it completely masculine.

I like August on a boy. I don't think it is too feminine.

I love it, but [m]

I am using it for a girl, and I do associate it with the month. I just prefer it on a girl.

I think it's nice for a boy as well.

I agree with what you said about August seeming feminine (too close Autumn?) He might prefer the nn Gus.
