My husband just threw a name for the baby at me that I would have never expected from him.

Augustus John

A.J. for short

Baby is due in August - and John is his Dad's name.

I like Gus for a nn, but that's me.

The last name is Hazzard

WDYT??

Myself, I am liking it at the moment...

august is pretty high on my list. i like just plain august, and augustino, not so much augustus for some reason, though.

I like it... but I do like August better.

Either way I think it's adorable especially since the baby is due in August. :)

I don't like the nn Gus, though.

You know, Augustus is not normally a name I would like, but...

I LOVE how Augustus John Hazzard sounds, and i like the nn AJ.

Fabulous, although I prefer the shorter version - August John. Gus is cute, and AJ Hazzard sounds perfect!

I like August/Gus, but I feel like August as a name for a baby due in August is kind of tacky. I don't know, maybe that's just me.

I like Augustus. I used to work at a daycare and there was a little blonde boy named Augustus (I always thought it was such a big name for a little boy, in a cute way). I'm not a huge fan of the nick name Gus, but I don't mind too much. AJ is okay, too, but I really think he should just be called Augustus.

And I love John as a middle name.

Totally love it.

Augustus John goes together well and AJ or Gus are cute nn.

Cute choice. :)

I like it, kind of alot.
I'm not a huge fan of A.J. though. or any "letter" nickanmes at all. Gus is kind of cute though.

Plus, the last name Hazzard is awesome. I WISH that was my last name. haha. =D

I like Augustus & really like August. Augustus Hazzard? Sounds like a super hero/rockstar/very cool person. I normally really dislike initial nicknames & prefer August or Gus, but A.J. Hazzard just.. works.

What about Augustin? I love that. Augustin John is stunning, as is Augustus and August. August? All boy.

One of my next door neighbours is called Augustus and ALWAYS gets called Gus as a nickname, to the point where I would say most people think that's his full name.

I actually love Augustus (both as a name and as an emperor - he's my favourite Roman Emperor even though I know everyone else loves Hadrian the most. But Augustus was the first and the best, you know). It's on my list, for sure.

I really prefer Augustine, but they both have a great ring to them!
