The name Auguste was extremely popular in the early 1900's, but began to decline in the late 50's. It has been receiving a small comeback since the 1990's.

This name is also used in Germany, where it is strictly feminine. It's a (actually more common) variant of Augusta.
A famous bearer of this name was Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria - known as Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein in English -, the last German Empress and Queen of Prussia. [noted -ed]

I agree with one of the previous posters, this name does sound quite old-fashioned. It can also be used for females.

Auguste is very old-fashioned and not given anymore. It reminds of Philippe-Auguste or of the clown Auguste. So it's either pompous or slightly ridiculous.

Luxsword's information is incorrect. Auguste is still used, and it's actually rising in popularity in France. I know a few young Augustes.

Just because it's an old name doesn't make it pretentious or ridiculous.

Auguste sounds more refined and handsome then plain, simple August. It has a classy air to it.

I am a female with this as my middle name, except it is pronounced o-goost-a. It's definitely odd to have it as a name, but it's pretty.
