Burns or Gloop are the associations.

I like August, but not keen on Augustus. I'd still pick that over Montgomery though.

I love the name Gus but don't really like Augustus. What about Magnus?

I like Montgomery/Monty too though.

I think Monty is horrible, sorry. I like Augustus and August, not sure on Gus as a nickname but still MUCH nicer than Montgomery and Monty.

well i came on to say Monty as a shortened Montgomery but now see you have shorted Augustus to Gus,
I like Gus.

Or Angus....

Or Fergus...
Both much nicer than Augustus if what you really want is a Gus, IMO.

NormaSmuff · 21/01/2017 09:16

oh agree oldbird.
Fergus, and then you can call him Gus.
but would you really want his school records/health records to state Augustus?

Monty is now a dog's name. Augustus sounds a bit pretentious in my view, but could you get away with Atticus?

Angus, or Fergus if you want Gus. Makes me think of pus or gussets though..

Agustín/ nn Gus. There was a lovely boy called Augustine at school a couple of years ago so I have positive associations with the name. Not always the case..! Smile
