Which one would you choose for a girl and why?Also, what would you use as a nickname? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Augusta
I don't like any nicknames for it though

Definitely Augusta.I see Augustine as more of a unisex, leaning towards a male, name, and that's probably all about the ending 'e' letter since if it was an 'a', as in Augustina, it changes the gender for me, making it solely a feminine name.

Augusta! I recently rediscovered this name and I really like it. But nicknames is a good point, I’m not sure… Auggie or Gussie or Gusta, I guess?

I wouldn't choose Augustine for a boy, let alone a girl! Augusta would be the only possible choice, but it wouldn't be mine.Gus or Gussie would be the obvious nn; perhaps also Augs.

Augusta for a girl
Augustine for a boy.I don’t like any of the potential nicknames, apart from maybe Gus for a boy. I know an Augustus who goes by Gus.

Augusta because Augustine is masculine and Augusta is a family name anyway, diminutives could be Gus or ysAugie.

Augusta, definitely. Augustine is very masculine to me because I think of the saint.I like Gus, Gussie, and Gusty.
