Honest thoughts on this girl name..

[eggplanty]

Augusta....

Love it

Very elegant, but what would you expect to call her day to day? It's a big name for a very small person.

I have no idea.. Gus seems a bit rough.. And I hadn't thought of anything else..

Like it. "gussie" is sweet as a NN

Or at a push star I guess?

Bit too strong. I have to get behind it every time I say it. It never ever rolls off the tongue effortlessly.

don't like it, too stiff and formal, and Gussie is awful (too close to gusset, my least favourite word ever!).

Lovely name for an August baby

Aggie?

I know an Augusta goes by name of Gus. It's actually quite cool on her.

High, high on my list. :)

In the book Wonder, the main character is called August and he is known as "Auggie" IIRC. I assumed it was pronounced org-ee or ogg-ee WITH A HARD G OBVIOUSLY! Think that's a bit ugly sounding but what about Aggie for a nn, like if she was Agnes or Agatha?

I agree with most of the other posters... it's a nice name but it isn't that easy to say.

Yes I wanted the truth, definitely. Is the chocolate factor child not Augustus? Although I can see why it would remind you..

I would think the parents were massive massive golf fanatics.

Horrid

Yes I was wondering if anyone would mention golf. It seems it's not the first thing that springs to mind for most people? Does it sound "posh" I don't want to seem like I'm trying to give the child an upper class name. It's currently the only girl name we both like. But I can't assess if it's "too much"..

Love it.

I just picture a rotund, large person. Sorry.

I love it, it was on our list for our dd.

I don't see it as "big" at all, I think it's quite classy. I also once knew an Augusta known and "Gus" and she was v. cool (she was 7 at the time!)

No need to apologise.. I think there's a connection to Augustus Gloop I'm afraid..

It's OK, I have no strong feelings either way. It does have a "posh" vibe, though, so if you really want to avoid that then it may not be the right name for you.

Yes first thing I thought of was Augustus Gloop!

It's also a helicopter .... Although spelt "Agusta"
That's my first thought.

Sorry, meant to say that the helicopter brand is very often spelt incorrectly thus "Augusta"
