@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.
thefirstmrsrochester · 20/02/2021 12:51

I really like it.

WannaCapybara · 20/02/2021 12:58

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

TheCatThatGotTheCream · 20/02/2021 13:04

It's a lovely name.

dementedma · 20/02/2021 13:04

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?!
Daisy829 · 20/02/2021 13:06

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

AledsiPad · 20/02/2021 13:07

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

JellyfishandShells · 20/02/2021 13:07

I like it - only seen it as Auguste before.

Dahlietta · 20/02/2021 13:20

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

poblwcymru · 20/02/2021 13:29

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

Kitkat151 · 20/02/2021 13:29

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

oakleaffy · 20/02/2021 13:29

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

Icantrememebrtheartist · 20/02/2021 13:36

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

RickiTarr · 20/02/2021 13:42

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
BenoneBeauty · 20/02/2021 13:52

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!

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 20/02/2021 13:52

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

poptartqueen · 20/02/2021 13:53

@PenisBeakerIsMyFavouriteMuppet

What are your children’s names, OP? I fancy a laugh.
Yes, come on OP, spill the beans.
Janegrey333 · 20/02/2021 13:53

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.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 20/02/2021 13:53

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

Janegrey333 · 20/02/2021 13:54

NativityDreaming · 20/02/2021 13:54

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.
