Boy and girl. First name of each gender that comes to mind.

Joking aside, did you want it linked to August or Summer or something? As I’m not sure why the birth month makes a difference.

Isn’t your question ‘what’s your favourite girl and boys’ name?’

I gave my August daughter the same name I would have given her if she’d been born in any other month.

DS1 and I are both August babies. We're called Charlotte and Dominic. Not sure that our birth has anything to do with them though.

BiscuitLover3679 · 26/11/2021 16:13

Does it not make you think of certain names when you hear a month? Maybe just me!

Themed in a way would be nice. I'd just like ideas.

That’s not what the OP is asking. She isn’t saying ‘if you are born in august, what is your name?’ She is asking for names that are linked to the month or the season.

I wouldn’t give them a particular name based on birth month. I know a Holly who was born in August!

MintyGreenDream · 26/11/2021 16:21

Summer

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 26/11/2021 16:23

That is what she asked. The title is literally "what would you name an August baby?" I named my August baby Dominic.

Hetyanni · 26/11/2021 16:26

I have 2 August babies - I gave them the same names I would have given them had they been born at any other time. Do you want summer themed names?

No!

LetHimHaveIt · 26/11/2021 16:27

I named my August baby 'Augusta', although I probably would've called her that had she been born in July. Which she almost was. She suits the name extraordinarily well.

Morvensea · 26/11/2021 16:27

I think the meaning was pretty clear.

I have a baby born a week before Christmas but I would expect ‘what would you call a Christmas baby’ to be seasonal suggestions.

That’s not to say Dominic isn’t a nice name but I don’t think the OP was looking to hear the name of everyone born in august!

KrispyKale · 26/11/2021 16:28

I don't like august as it's that two muggy days followed by a thunderstorm time if year IF you're lucky!
(So maybe Storm!)

Octavia and Augustus

user1471443411 · 26/11/2021 16:55

I've always thought August is a really nice name for a boy so I would have to use it if I had a boy (probably even if not born in August). I don't know for a girl, but Thea springs to mind, maybe short for Theadora.

KrispyKale · 26/11/2021 17:14

The sun is in Leo astrologically speaking until August 22nd.

MarineBlue33 · 26/11/2021 17:29

Summer and Rain if you are keeping it seasonal

careerchangeperhaps · 26/11/2021 17:31

Summer (girl)
Augustus (boy)

Tillymintpolo · 26/11/2021 17:33

Mine is Jacob 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do too!

August is in winter where I am.
