I watch Once Upon a Time and Pinnochios name is August. I guess I can see it as a girl name but the only thing I can think of is a friend I have whose name is Augustina. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2257483 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 01:02:28 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2257483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy but I wouldn't be surprised if it now became more girly. :( I'd still use it though if it were a front runner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2257477 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 00:08:43 +0000 Kimberlybee 2257477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think of it as a boy's name but it does sound good for a girl too. It's not too confusing like naming John or James for a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2257151 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:55:00 +0000 autumnlove 2257151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2257140 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:50:22 +0000 PawPrints 2257140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know two little boys named August.

It's my little man's name :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256924 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 16:04:36 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2256924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think of it as a boys name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256907 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:52:49 +0000 coopsmama 2256907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely a boy name to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256887 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:38:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2256887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: after my husband floated the name I went searching for its meaning/ famous people and liked it even more because of August Wilson! I still have yet to read something of his though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256878 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:30:01 +0000 LAZB 2256878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only think boy, and it's a family name for us, so we are thinking of using it in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256875 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:28:09 +0000 Ms. RV 2256875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It makes me think of August Wilson-- which wasn't his first name by birth, but still a male name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256859 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 15:16:20 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2256859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only think of boy and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256732 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:17:33 +0000 Reese 2256732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>boy - we know a newborn recently named August. Adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256723 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:14:18 +0000 MamaCate 2256723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yes my first thought was St. Augustine but typing it out it does look a little feminine. I think if you love August you should go for it since you can't predict the future for name trends. And it is a classically male name in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256706 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:07:49 +0000 getjazzy 2256706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a girl named August so I voted girl. I should have voted unisex though. Duh, I somehow skipped that option. Definitely works for a boy too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256690 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:59:13 +0000 wrkbrk 2256690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We just liked it - and especially liked Gus as a nickname. And we liked the initials we would have had with August as a first name choice - would have honored both my grandparents (jewish tradition). That said we are going with a family name on DW's side - Cooper. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256679 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:53:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2256679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Augustine has this weird male/ female thong going for it. On one hand it's like Justin and Justine and own the other there's a St. Augustine who was definitely a man. I wonder how a nick name would play out for a girl August- Gussy reminds with hussy?</p> <p>@californiadreams: my husband suggested it because of the TV show "Girl Meets World." The kid bro is an August/ Augie </p> <p>I think for a boy it's a classic name per my search of famous people with the name and for a girl it would be kind of hipster. Who knows I may end up loving it enough for it to be "the name" not just the "boy's name."</p> <p>@wrkbrk: great choice. What's your story behind the name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256658 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:40:22 +0000 wrkbrk 2256658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Love it and we were SUPER close to choosing this for our son (EDD 11/19)!! I think it is pretty for a girl though too now that you mention it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256652 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:33:11 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2256652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've known both a little girl and a little boy named August. I like it for either. It didn't seem too boyish at all for the girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256636 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:22:24 +0000 californiadreams 2256636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just by reading the OP i thought unisex because it seemed normal that she named a girl August and then when u said it was boy pick for you, i realized i have heard that name as a boy before (I think in the movie, August Rush). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256632 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:16:55 +0000 birdofafeather 2256632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a boy's name to me! And one that I really like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256620 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:10:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 2256620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256598 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 13:00:10 +0000 MamaCate 2256598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think boy. If you wanted to differentiate more, maybe Augustus or Augustine? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256536 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:29:41 +0000 Anya 2256536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think boy but I like it for a girl too! Funny how April, May and June are firmly girl but August isn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256530 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:27:34 +0000 Truth Bombs 2256530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I assume a boy, but I actually really like it for a girl! All the other month names are for girls so why not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256520 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:20:03 +0000 NovBaby1112 2256520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is definitely a boys name to me. One of my biggest pet peeves right now as we are trying to name our son- the trend of naming girls names that are traditionally boy names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256509 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:09:26 +0000 ms.line 2256509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think boy - seems to be a trend right now to use squarely "boy" names for girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256503 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:06:11 +0000 rachiecakes 2256503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think boy, but it works for a girl, too?<br /> I know a little Augusta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august#post-2256500 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:03:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2256500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think boy.</p> <p>ETA: it also makes me think of The Secret Life of Bees. </p>
