Boy's name: August

[KitFaerie]

I think it's awesome! Brilliant name, definitely sounds masculine to me!

Ooh I love that name! Haven't really heard it around but now you've mentioned it I like it And I really like a nickname of Augie

Thanks for the warm welcome and for the replies. It is great to have some independent reviews on a name before you decide. Naming a child is such a huge responsibility.

Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order called her son August so if it is good enough for the celebrity world...

I really like it. I think I'd see it first as a masculine name (why should the girls get all the month names? ), though it could be feminine too I guess. If you were a bit unsure, you could even go for a middle name that meant he could use an initial nickname, like AJ, if you like that sort of thing.

A lady from my mothers group named her son August. I just love it!
