August???

[Lalliella]

Hmm

@MissyB1

At first I was like wtf?? But it’s grown on me quite quickly. I’m guessing he will be Gus.

The one I knew was Auggie.

I really like it.

He's going to live a very rarified life so it's probably very appropriate for his social circle.

It's a lovely name.

Don't love it but not my baby, not my business. Gus is cool though

@Snowymcsnowsony

Possibly better than Stamp..

Not getting this. Am I missing something obvious?!

I’ve heard it before and heard it shortened to Augie which I actually think is quite cute.

It’s a shit name, and if Harry and Meghan had chosen it they’d be ripped apart on here.

I like it - only seen it as Auguste before.

I think it’s a version of Augustus, isn’t it? More common ‘on the continent’.

I like it. Trendy and old fashioned which sums up the commoner son of a Princess IMO.

My friend grandson is August....he gets called Augie

Augustus gloop.
Wasn't he a Roald Dahl character?

I LOVE it! Almost used it myself. I met a little boy called Augusta and they call him Gus

I quite like it.

Not my style but obviously theirs. I can’t bring myself to dislike Eugenie, or snark about her.

^^ This! People lost their minds with Archie Harrison and August is 100x worse IMO

In your opinion

Wouldn't be my choice but after reading the meaning and also the history with Prince Albert, I think it's lovely. Really suits the son of a princess. Good luck to them.

Yup, Augustus Gloop, Augustus Gloop
That great, fat, greedy, nincompoop!

Not a fan of baby names that are days of the week or months of the year

@PenisBeakerIsMyFavouriteMuppet

What are your children’s names, OP? I fancy a laugh.

Yes, come on OP, spill the beans.

How refreshing to see the baby’s face and normal behaviour from the happy parents as opposed to the tedious gameplay if of the self-banished Sussex pair. The baby is very sweet and the names are lovely.

It sounds a bit ‘Real Housewives...’ to me.

...of the

I hate it but it’s their baby and they free-ish to chose the name. I am just glad they didn’t chose Andrew 😬

Hopefully they don’t actually use his first name and go with a nickname.
