For fun...my guy & I were talking about names & we love August for a girl.  I like August Kate, but Kate is taken by family.  Any suggestions for something similar?


Also... we are obsessed with Roman names (obviously) and our cats are named Augustus & Livia.  We call them Gus & Livie.

Anyway- fast forward 5-10 years, if I named my firstborn daughter August, would that be weird considering my cat's name?

It's traditionally a boys' name - more popular in the late 1800's early 1900's I believe. Probably from Augustus being a male ruler... but to me, August sounds quite feminine but still strong.

Good to know about the cat thing! I'm curious what others will say.

And yeah... to me August Anna is total A overload, though I like both names separately. I don't like alliteration at all (sadly if I marry my b/f I'll be Lindsey Leach...)

You mean... if you marry him and change your name, you'll be Lindsey Leach!

Yup, I started to type that and I was like, ok now I'm rambling...

I'm thinking about keeping mine...but I've been saying since 6th grade that I can't wait to get married so I can get rid of it. It's awful, German, lots of gooky letter combos... the source of many mean nicknames that I can't get over... etc.
