I thoroughly enjoy Augustus.I like Augustus Richard and advise that you eliminate (if possible) the secondary middle names.

I love all of those forms of Augustus! But I wouldn't use August on a girl, though.
Those are good combos, but I'd leave out Richard so that it flows more, as much as Richard is a good name.

It's okay. I thunk Gus is a really cute nn.I passionately dislike Richard, so I'm not liking either combo.

Augustus Gloop,Agustus Gloop, a great big greedy nincompoop. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl) I personally wouldn't use it.

I prefer August or Augustin (for a boy).For a girl, Augusta only.Augustus Richard Cornelius is too lofty sounding. The other one = okay.

I like it, it's very classy. But I think I'd use it only as a mn. And I absolutely hate the Gus nn for it. So as long as you can avoid that it's fine.From your combos I'd go with Augustus Richard Thomas, Augustus and Cornelius are a bit too much in the same combo. If I were to use it Thomas Augustus or Dominic Augustus would be my choices.

Thomas Augustus is a beautiful combo, I was going to suggest it myself.
I prefer it as a middle name as well.

It's a little heavy. As long as there's a good nickname to go with it, I like it.
