HelpAugust
Simon is still at the top of our baby boy name list.
I am wondering if I can run August by you as well. It is also high on our list because (1) it's a name with a long history, (2) it is German and fits with our German heritage and last name. I have never met an August, but I saw the name fairly often when working with mid-century German records at work, which is where I got the idea to use it.
Here's what I am wondering. First, do you like it?
Second, I notice that the name made a huge jump in popularity recently. In 2008, it was ranked 609 for boys. The next year, it jumped to rank 476. I also just learned, via Name Berry, that 4 celebrity babies have been named August, including 1 baby girl(?!). Name Berry also put the name on their list of "hipster" names. Does anyone know what has made the name more popular recently? I am curious who is using the name and it it is taken on any new associations?
