Don't you think with the names Augustine/Augustina and Augusta, the nickname August would have come around with girls at some point or another? I really kind of see it like Alex, a shortening of a plethora of both male and female names. Now some might say, 'Alex as itself, should only be a male name, and Alexa/Alexandra/Alexandria/etc should be fit for a girl" but people would still call that girl Alex in the long run. So I find quarreling over it just ridiculous. I'm sorry but if you name your daughter Augusta she will be called August in her life and maybe that's how it can viewed as unisex, like Alex.
