HelpRe: Does August need a nickname?
in reply to a message by Danielle79
I love August. I don't think that it needs a nickname. In fact, I prefer it without one. Gus has never done much for me.
August isn't that long of a name, so no, I don't think that most people will automatically shorten it. I think Augustus or Augustine would be much more likely to be shortened to Gus. The "gus" part of August isn't pronounced as strongly as in Augustus and Augustine, so I think you'd be fine if you didn't want to use a nickname for August.
