August or Hayden?

Can't decide. Both have meaning, but don't want to use both, so need to pick.

Not keen on either but Hayden is the better one.

Forgot to say that it would be a middle name.

I prefer Hayden.

I like August - it's a bit unusual (though an August could be Gus for short), but as a middle name I think it's nice, particularly if it has meaning to you. I had a Swedish friend who was considering August as a first name for her DS.

Love August - it's a very strong, distinguished name but also very cool. Hayden is not my cup of tea.

August is a good name.

DramaAlpaca · 21/01/2017 19:36

Hayden

EmbarrassingBaddie · 21/01/2017 19:55

Why not both? Hyphonate it.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/01/2017 20:24

August.

Stonewash · 21/01/2017 21:35

I prefer August.

For some reason I like Aidan and Hayley but not Hayden Confused

Elbi · 21/01/2017 22:15

Definitely August for me.

rainbow99 · 21/01/2017 22:22

Hayden

Sophronia · 22/01/2017 00:04

Definitely August. Love it.

Pluto30 · 22/01/2017 00:29

August is super cool. Love it.

KoalaDownUnder · 22/01/2017 06:05

August. I don't like Hayden.

MrsBlennerhassett · 22/01/2017 06:13

August is beautiful and was second on our list for a boy

Pipilangstrumpf · 22/01/2017 07:42

Another vote for August.

badg3r · 22/01/2017 13:50

August if it is for a middle name, provided the initials don't spell anything weird.

Joeybee · 22/01/2017 23:12

August I think.
