What does everyone think? OH and I really like it and like both Auggie and Gus as nicknames. However, I've mentioned it to friends who think its awful lol I loved the little boy Auggie in Wonder so that's probably helping me see it soo positively.
Also any girls name suggestions that are just as strong? Love Alexandra but don't think we could use it as it's in the family already x

Gus is lovely. Augustus isn’t so lovely but it could just be the birth certificate name.

Gus is great. Augustus is not.

If you want a longer name with Gus as a nn what about Magnus or Angus?

Gloop- aka: fat glutinous boy- don’t do it. Just name him Gus

The film is decades old and he will be still known in decades to come!
Don't do it!!

Gus,Gussie, Gussett... no-one will call him Auggie... it's a nope from me I'm afraid.

Ah yeah. I had to google Augustus Gloop but get why it may be an issue. Although I'm hoping it won't be an obvious link by the time DS is at school?x

Love Augustus! Strong, classic and cool. It also reminds me of Wonder.
