Boy and girl. First name of each gender that comes to mind.

My August baby has the name we liked the most for a boy. What month he was born didn’t come into it.

Boy: Leo Girl: Poppy

January & Ebenezer

My August baby is named Jago. Cornish version of James. Not really linked to August although I guess you might be more likely to go to Cornwall in August Wink

@SquirrelFan

Octavia and Augustus
Excellent names.

Augustus and Octavia?? - since it’s the 8th month…

Malibuismysecrethome · 26/11/2021 21:18

Apart from the names April, June and Augustus no names make me think of months, Noel makes me think of Christmas

Leo!

Anything but August (for a boy)! Although I actually love the name. In any other month it’d be one of my top choices...but it’d just feel way too predictable so I’d have to leave it. Hmmm what would I choose instead? I’m not sure. My mind had gone blank so I’ll have to come back to it.

Girl: Summer
Boy: Keith

My August dc is a ds Roan. Rowan for a dd?

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 26/11/2021 18:06

@TuftyMarmoset

I wouldn’t give them a particular name based on birth month. I know a Holly who was born in August!
I do too!

August is in winter where I am.

Tillymintpolo · 26/11/2021 17:33

Mine is Jacob 🤷🏻‍♀️

careerchangeperhaps · 26/11/2021 17:31

Summer (girl)
Augustus (boy)

MarineBlue33 · 26/11/2021 17:29

Summer and Rain if you are keeping it seasonal

KrispyKale · 26/11/2021 17:14

The sun is in Leo astrologically speaking until August 22nd.

user1471443411 · 26/11/2021 16:55

I've always thought August is a really nice name for a boy so I would have to use it if I had a boy (probably even if not born in August). I don't know for a girl, but Thea springs to mind, maybe short for Theadora.

SquirrelFan · 26/11/2021 16:48

Octavia and Augustus

KrispyKale · 26/11/2021 16:28

I don't like august as it's that two muggy days followed by a thunderstorm time if year IF you're lucky!
(So maybe Storm!)

Morvensea · 26/11/2021 16:27

I think the meaning was pretty clear.

I have a baby born a week before Christmas but I would expect ‘what would you call a Christmas baby’ to be seasonal suggestions.

That’s not to say Dominic isn’t a nice name but I don’t think the OP was looking to hear the name of everyone born in august!

LetHimHaveIt · 26/11/2021 16:27

I named my August baby 'Augusta', although I probably would've called her that had she been born in July. Which she almost was. She suits the name extraordinarily well.

SirChenjins · 26/11/2021 16:26

Does it not make you think of certain names when you hear a month

No!
