Love Augustus! Montgomery is also nice though.

I know more dogs called Max and Oscar than I do Monty so don't think sharing a name with a dog matters much Hmm

Gus.

Monty is only acceptable on a mouse or a Jack Russell. Or a pervy uncle.

Gus. Monty just sounds like a budge

Definitely Augustus. Monty is a bit comical.

Sophronia · 21/01/2017 11:05

I prefer August to Augustus though.

Personally I'd go for August or Montague to get those nicknames but from your choices I'd probably say Montgomery.

Augustus!

Both fab names, though.

Geri Halliwell has just named her new baby boy Monty (Montague) which is a bit of unfortunate timing though I imagine it'll be out of the press in 5 minutes so people will be unlikely to think you're copying her.

(I prefer Gus)

Both good names. I liked Monty (Montague) myself until recently when I imagined saying it when I was at a toddler group and suddenly it sounded strange/watery. Try it!

Luckystar1 · 22/01/2017 08:45

Geri Halliwell (or whatever she's called) has just had a Montague (in case that changes your opinion one way or other!)

EssentialHummus · 22/01/2017 08:49

Neither really. Augustus marginally better.

Montgomery, Monty for short. LOVE it.
I hear Augustus, and though it's a good name, I can't shake of the Augustus Gloop association.
