And I only see it as a boy name. It was very common in Sweden in the late 19th century. I read somewhere that almost one quarter of the male population was named August (first name or middle name)! I understand that August also is a month in English and thus makes it ok for a girl, but I just can't see it on a girl because it is so masculine to me.
I would of course prefer it as a first name and I wouldn't use a nn.
