August???

[Lalliella]

Hmm

GaspOde Oops typo! I met a little boy called August not Augusta. I should’ve checked before posting.

@TwelvePaws

He looks very cute and mum and dad look very happy. Something tells me OPs not very happy with her life. 🍑🍩

@TwelvePaws you deduced a lot from my 2 word post. You should be a therapist. (You’re wrong by the way 😊)

What's wrong with Gus

But Gus doesn’t rhyme with Wuss (or wussie with Gussie)
How do they not rhyme?

g-us
w-us
g-us-ee
w-us-ee

@TwelvePaws aww you’re nice

Thanks. 😇 You @ me twice, i guess I hit a nerve.

I say Gus to rhyme with fuss, and wuss to rhyme with puss.

They don’t rhyme in my SE accent.

Gus and woose would be the pronunciation here for those words. In his school people would more likely make fun of Dylan/Jayden/Logan than August anyway! We’re all different. You can see that from any name thread on here. Even above someone said Albert would be lovely but to me that’s an awful name.

It’s a perfectly good name. It has heritage and history to it.

Gus and wuss do not rhyme!

Gus rhymes with pus (as in the gunky, infected stuff).

Wuss rhymes with puss (as in pussycat).

I have a DS called August. It’s a common Scandinavian name.

Uhm no it’s not...pronunciation for ‘pus’ here:

Yes, Germanic roots.

(I guess it would originally come from Latin?)

@Honeybobbin Scotland. Are you Yorkshire/Lancashire or somewhere?

It varies by region, I think!

It's a perfectly nice name - you can't please everyone and why should they try?

Ah right yeah, I thought north England or midlands! There’s so many different accents in the UK. Even just in Scotland!

It’s a nice enough name and she seems a decent sort from the incredibly small amount of info I have read about her.

I like it. Isn't his other kid's name Wolf?
