What do you think of Augusta as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder

Augusta is hideous. You can't call anyone a baby,Augusta.

'next'? NEST I meant Blush

NothereisnobodylurkingbehindU · 17/10/2010 22:24

I tell you what though - if I'd gone through the sheer hell that would be 8 pregnancies and my dh didn't let me have my way over the name, well - they'd be trouble in the marital next - that's all I'm saying! Grin

Why does he want to call her Skoda?

NothereisnobodylurkingbehindU · 17/10/2010 22:07

Augusta would fit but if she's your eigth you should have Octavia!

I would like it, except I keep thinking of Augustus Gloop, which puts me off it a bit. Other than that association I think its a good strong name.

I also like Annunciator and Aurora.

Minione · 17/10/2010 21:38

I like it too! Think its lovely, very strong and regal. However, both DH and my mum gave me a Hmm when I suggested it so I assume its a bit of a marmite name!

KERALA1 · 17/10/2010 21:11

I love it! Have suggested it to a few pregnant with girls friends and every time have got a Hmm so dont think it has widespread appeal...

JaynieB · 17/10/2010 21:07

Really unusual - very 'impressive' sounding name. I like it.

muttimalzwei · 17/10/2010 21:07

No bit too manly and posh for me, sorry.

zenon · 17/10/2010 21:06

Love Augusta!!! Great name and so not overused.Smile
