Augusta

[marymarynotcontrary]

Baby due August.... quite like Augusta as a middle name

Would you? and/or what would you think hearing it?

Roman?

Thumbs up!

I think of Augustus Gloop, the gluttonous boy from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

So it's a no from me.

Roman what?

Augustus was the Roman leader ... but I'm thinking for a girl, not a boy

Augustus would be cruel. Like Augustus Gloop.

Autumn is really pretty, but probably not for an August babe :)

Yes, I know, but Augusta is a Roman female name too.

Ah right... so what was your question?

Am I Roman? Or do I know it's Roman...?

I find it too solemn and a bit stodgy. What about Augustine?

I also thought Ausgustus gloop...not a name I would use for a girl or boy

Oh just realised it's for a middle name. Then it's OK. :)

What would you think hearing it? Roman matriarch.

Ah, thank you but I studied theology so Augustine is Saint Augustine for me... so not suitable for a girl

Obviously I'd never use Augustus

But it seems nobody much likes Augusta either. Ah, well good to know I s'pose. Stodgy isn't what I want to go for!

Yika yes, for a middle name

Along the lines of Elizabeth Augusta

I think it's absolutely lovely. Really elegant.

marysmiling that's just what I was going to say, based on Roald Dahl no for me too lol

Elizabeth Augusta would be lovely. :)

I like it, reminds me of the car which is beautiful. Lancia Augusta.

Tbh I like August for a girl too.
Augustine?

I like it, and think it's elegant rather than stodgy.

Fine as a middle name but I wouldn't use it as a first name.

I did! For a middle name. I would have loved to have called her Augusta, but decided it was a little bit too unusual with possibly less attractive shortened versions, so it was relegated to the middle.

Augustus Gloop never crossed my mind.

I really like it. I do have an unusual taste in names though...

I love it.

I absolutely love it and really regret not using it as a mn for my August baby, just didn't think of it at the time.
