What do you think of Augusta?

[smilingserenely]

What do you think of Augusta as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder

Love Augusta!!! Great name and so not overused.

No bit too manly and posh for me, sorry.

Really unusual - very 'impressive' sounding name. I like it.

I love it! Have suggested it to a few pregnant with girls friends and every time have got a so dont think it has widespread appeal...

I like it too! Think its lovely, very strong and regal. However, both DH and my mum gave me a when I suggested it so I assume its a bit of a marmite name!

I would like it, except I keep thinking of Augustus Gloop, which puts me off it a bit. Other than that association I think its a good strong name.

I also like Annunciator and Aurora.

You are expecting an EIGHTH child? My God. Hats off to you.

Augusta would fit but if she's your eigth you should have Octavia!

I really like Octavia btw!

unfortunately dh vetoed octavia

Oh who asked him!

He's v WRONG

i know he's wrong but he keeps saying skoda and won't see sense

Why does he want to call her Skoda?

Leave him!

yup, augusta... sister of augustus... gloop.
sorry.

I tell you what though - if I'd gone through the sheer hell that would be 8 pregnancies and my dh didn't let me have my way over the name, well - they'd be trouble in the marital next - that's all I'm saying!

'next'? NEST I meant

Augusta is hideous. You can't call anyone a baby,Augusta.

I love Augusta. And August is the eighth month.

I'm confused as there is another thread on here that says you had your eigth in April?

Augusta is a bit too posh for my tastes but not terrible.

Love Augusta, would love to use it if I ever had a daughter but doubt I'd have the guts.

I like Augustus and Augustine for boys too, was going to use Augustine but got vetoed and mocked.

Felicity Arabella Matilda

yes named her felicity as it was the only name dh liked and i was railroaded into a decision but he promised that if i still loathed the name felicity when she was 6 months old we could change her birth cert .
6 months on i still hate the name felicity and cringe when i hear it .after months of refusing to consider any other name
dh suddenly mentioned this as a name he likes and also like it and it's growing on me
