Re: August
in reply to a message by Lily8
This is pretty much my favorite boy name, though I prefer Augustus over August, and only on a boy! It's a masculine name, given to one of Rome's most famous Emperor's...
I don't think it's getting common at all, but I don't think it's so uncommon where people would be shocked to hear it. I've only ever met one August in my life, and 2 Augustos. Then there's Augustine, which I think is the best variant for a girl, and which I like for a girl. I have a an Augustus (m) and an Augustine (f) in my family tree.
I really want to give this name to a son, should I have one, with the nn Gus!
