Re: Augusta
in reply to a message by Emma Rose
Sure, I think it would be acceptable on a child of today.
You'd have to be firm against the nick-name Gustie, though, unless you didn't mind that.
My mother had an aunt named Augusta,always called Gustie.Presumably, she didn't mind that.
My mum's family was given to nick-names.

I don't mind Gustie. It's cute. I like Auggie better, though. It reminds me of the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
