This could be cute as a childhood nickname, but in the long run, it's unattractive. Please choose Augusta, Augustine, August or Augustina if you are considering Gussie for your kid.

Also a masculine name in the context as an American English regional name (Appalachian) influenced by Gus with the addition of the suffix -ie which is a common suffix added to names throughout Appalachia.
Gussie Nell Davis (1906 – 1993) was an American teacher best known as the founder of the Kilgore College Rangerettes, who in September 1940 became the first all-girls drill team to perform on a college football field.
I think Gussie is a sweet name, it was the name of me and my friend group's newest friend, Gussie was a very nice woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind, it's a tragedy she was murdered :( I think Gussie is a good nickname for Augusta and Augustina, and a good name on its own, it's kind of like Bobbie and Robbie where there's a very male name with an "ie" at the end to make it more feminine sounding. I think Gussie's a great name, thanks for reading :)

I think the comments for Gussie are quite harsh. Anyways, this is a super cute name! :) I believe the gender for Gussie on this site should be listed as BOTH Feminine and Masculine, not just Feminine! Gussie can be a nickname for the male names August and Augustus.

This is an ugly nickname. It sounds too masculine to be a girl's name.
I don't even like the name Augusta, but this nickname is truly hideous and old-fashioned. It also has a rather immature sound to it despite coming off as grandmotherly.
