Pronunciation of the boy's name August?

[Bagging]

Is it pronounced like the month or like Augustus without the "us" at the end?

I’d say it like the month

Like the month.

Like the month

The month.

I would say both of those things in the same way?

@isittheholidaysyet so would I

For me there is a distinct difference.
August: AU-gust
Augustus: au-GUST-us

The sounds are the same, but the emphasis is different.

Au-GUST

Like the month.

I appear to be the only pretentious pillock who read it as Ow-goost!!

Ow-goost here too.

Like the month between July and September.

Au-GUST. Augustus is better as there won't be any confusion

This is what I think too. I'd say the Au-GUST for the name unless told otherwise. I've never met one though.
