August???

[Lalliella]

Hmm

I’m not putting my kids’ names on here as it could be outing when put together with my other posts

So one is Ella, then.

I couldn’t really deal with very mainstream names as I felt like they really held the identity of so many other people already.

I have an August and I’ve never had any negative comments in real life so was surprised to see how passionately some people feel about the name in this thread! Quite honestly don’t understand why people care so much. I’d say some people were a little surprised when they learned of the name because it’s not really common in the U.K. (by no means is it out there) but children grow into their names, don’t you think? So it might seem weird at first but actually I can’t imagine my child being anything other than August. I had other names I liked and considered but not that my child is August, and has been for a few years, I can’t imagine them as anything but now. It’s not longer just a month of the year to me.

Just my thoughts from the perspective of a mum to an August.

but children grow into their names, don’t you think?

Of course they do, and actually when faced with a real live child with an unusual name, I think far fewer people actually have negative thoughts about the name, because they see it attached to a human being. Things in abstract often do seem stranger.

Mandy Moore has called her baby August too. I think it’s a lovely name.

She stole their name and Meghan's baby's middle name and the photo is only half his face! How could she!! 😯😯😯🤪

I didn't realise she was still famous.

I have a student called Auguste. It's a lovely name.

I don't see it any different from April, May or June to be honest.

Love the name August and adore Hawkie

In the film The Secret Life of Bees there are sisters called April, May, June and August Boatwright and they name Dakota Fanning's character July. www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TcwSbNMqjIzYPQSLk5NLkotUcjJTEtVyE9TSEpNLQYApxwKfQ&q=secret+life+of+bees&oq=secret+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j46i39j69i59j0i273j69i60.4299j0j7&client=ms-android-ee-uk-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#wgvs=e&wptab=s:H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLSz9U3MEmzTKoye8Toyi3w8sc9YSmbSWtOXmM04-IKzsgvd80rySypFNLgYoOy5Lj4pJC0aTBI8XAh8Xl2MXG4ZebkOicWlyxilU8GUgr5aQohGakKwanJRaklCj6ZaakgIafU1GIAl8YKy4MAAAA

Ah cool. I've seen a few headlines about her baby and how she's taken inspiration from the Royals. Utterly ridiculous., People do like a stretch
