The nickname Auggie?

[Bagging]

For August? What do you think?

[Yodaisawally]

As in aw-gee?

Awful

[StressyMcStressFace]

Oi oi oi!

[CloseYourEyesAndSee]

Ugly and very American in a bad way

[vodkaredbullgirl]

🤔nope

[PastMyBestBeforeDate]

The boy in Wonder

[catinboots123]

Gus is so much better

[passport123]

Forever associated with Wonder

[DotDotDotDotDot]

I like it, it’s cute. Auggie from Wonder was such a lovely character though so maybe that’s clouding my judgment.

[Georgeskitchen]

Ugh no. Gus is better but even that's a bit borderline. Does August actually need a nickname? What's wrong with just August?

[RedWingBoots]

Give your child whatever nickname you like.

From when s/he is 8 or older they will tell you whether they like you calling them that.

[NewYorkLassie]

This is MN. Home if the incessant need for nicknames.

@StressyMcStressFace

Oi oi oi!

this was exactly my reaction too!!

[FayCarew]

Oi Oi Oi.

Gus is much better esp if short for Augustus

August makes me think Aw gust

[Wolfiefan]

Definitely oi oi oi.

[Goneback2school]

The boy in Wonder is what comes to mind. It's cute.

[Cindie943811A]

The trouble with August is that I never know whether it is a version of the classic name Augustus / Augusta etc with the emphasis on GUST or after the month with the emphasis on the first syllable AU
Guess that would also influence the nickname used

[Greenbeanmcgee]

Auggie is cute and I love the name August.

[SirChenjins]

@StressyMcStressFace

Oi oi oi!

This!

[RuthW]

Perfect shortening for August.

[AquaticSewingMachine]

It's truly awful, both acoustically and aesthetically.

[sageandbasil]

Isn't that from bridgerton? Prefer gus

[KappaChino]

'I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that, your son is called Orgy?'

[ChagSameachDoreen]

Disgusting!

[User478]

I never read Wonder, just half watched the film, assumed the kid's name was "Ugly" thought it was an odd choice...

[TabithaTittlemouse]

I love Auggie but don’t like August.
