Um.. I like Oz, Ozzy and Austin the best (the latter suggested by Felie).
I don't like Gus, Gussie or Gusty.
Auggie is cute, but can be outgrown quickly.

Hi !!!

I've never thought about Oz, Ozzy or Ozzie as nicknames for August.

I like these nicknames also as standalone names (strange for my habits as I dislike NNs). I really like how they sounds.

I do too, maybe due to The Wizard association. They just sound cool.
I also often do not like nicknames as standalone names, but there are exceptions.
