August

Is August a boy or girls name in your opinion?

Love it for my boy due in August and feel like it goes well with my DD who is called Autumn.

If not please throw me some suggestions for other names as struggling 😩

Defo a boy! Lovely name

As in Augustus

August is a boy's name.

It's fine as a name and it is obviously a boy's name but I think it's a bit similar to Autumn for a sibling personally.

August is all boy to me

Boy, but is it AUGust like the month or AuGUST like the adjective?

Absolutely boy. It is very close to Autumn though, but maybe you don’t mind. I’d go with Augustus nn August or Gus.

A boys name to me. Personally I feel it sounds too similar to Autumn. Maybe another summer inspired name -

Ray (like ray of sunshine!)
Cyrus (means sun)
Leo (Star sign for August)
Sampson (means sun)
Sonny

All boy to me. I love August.

Boys name for sure. It’s a lovely name.

Of course it's a male name!

Augusta or Augustine are female versions

I would say whatever Central European people say, because it's mostly theirs name. I say Aw-gust with maybe accent on first letter. Not native tough.

Definitely a boys name. Princess Eugenie named her first son August. I have to say I’d never heard of the name until then, but it’s an old name that was around in the 1800’s.
I do think it’s very similar to Autumn but Gus is a nice nickname.

I think August is a male name.
I think of the Swedish author and playwright August Strindberg (a man) who wrote the play "Miss Julie" (1888).

Definitely a boys name to me! Not really to my personal taste, I wouldn’t use it but it is a lovely name.

Definitely a male name, and a very nice one at that!

Thanks everyone for your help!

This has definitely helped settle my mind and we do love August and would most probably nn with Gus etc

@Bluegetaniums Augustine is definitely a boys name. As in Saint Augustine Bishop of Hippo. Very very important figure in Christian theology, one of the so called “fathers of Christianity”. He shaped our world.

OP, love August!

I always assumed that Augustine is the feminine version of Augustin.

Like Martine is the feminine version of Martin.

It's a boy's name

@Bluegetaniums , Saint Augustine was male.

I really like August for a boy. It's top of my list for DS due end of July (C section so hopefully won't be born in August).

I like it :) I would think it's a boy name.
