August for a boy?

Prepared for a flaming.

We're thinking of this as a middle name and both have heritage from countries where it's a recognised name.

I like. Also like Augustin . Definitely not girls' names IMO

Ooh I love it!

I'd go for it. It still sounds a bit feminine to me, but with a strong first name it'll be great.

Why not? Especially as a nod to heritage/family or friends etc.

Bowlersarm · 03/10/2013 19:50

I quite like unusual names. But to me August is more of a girls name. Not sure why.

Augustus?
