I had a cat named Augustus nn Gus (He had a brother named Maximillian nn Max)so I would never use it for a kid but I kind of Like August without either of the nn options

August nn Auggie

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

I like August and love Augustin. :) I have a cousin named August and when he was younger, everyone called him Auggie.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

I like August but neither nickname.

[loanwords.livejournal.com]

Auggie is horrid.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

I like all of them, but I like Augustin the best. It's very handsome and royal sounding. Augustus is too, but it's a little more doofy. August is too earthy for me. Auggie is way too much of a dog's name, but Gus is a cute nn.

August is good.
Augustus only reminds me of Augustus Gloop.
Auginstin, I'm not sure of that one, but I like Augustin.

And the nn Gus is SO CUTE! It reminds me of that chunky little mouse from Cinderella (Gusgus!)

Yeah, I'd never do that to a kid.

Lol...i meant Augustin!

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I really like August, but I'm not fond of either nickname.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

I love August, which is a problem for me because I dislike Auggie/Gus/etc- but I love nicknames. Augustus is nice too but I don't get Auginstin.

[bitty1721.livejournal.com]

I love August, Augustus and the nickname Gus

[apple-sap.livejournal.com]

Lovelovelove it :D
(except Auginstin - looks like a typo to me? lol)

[http://users.livejournal.com/-----citylight/]

LOL! OMG! I looked at it like twenty times...trying to work out where the typo was...haha...it finally hit me =P
Augustin! Is what I meant...haha

[jexia]

Auginstin = antibiotic? :P

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I love August nn Gus.

I have a friend named Augustin, but it totally doesn't fit him and he goes by his middle name (Paul), which does. I'm not a huge fan of the name, but I do like the author Augusten Burroughs so it's going on me ;)

Augustus seems so...Roman. I like August the best.

[traezer.livejournal.com]

August - yes! But hate the nn Gus.

Augustin - is this pronounced Au GUS tin or AU gus tine? Not a huge fan

Augustus - not a fan.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Austin for me, thanks.

I'd suggest Augustine rather than Auginstin. Is this for a boy or a girl?

The boy's name Augustus \a(u)-gus-tus, aug(u)-stus\ is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "great, magnificient". Given historical glamour by Roman emperors and German princely families, who brought it to Britain in the 18th century, when it became very fashionable.

The boy's name August \a(u)-gu-st\ is pronounced AW-gust. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "great, magnificient". The feminine version, Augusta, and the longer Latin version, Ausgustus, are more widely used in English-speaking countries.

The girl's name Augustine \a(u)-gusti-ne, aug(us)-tine\, also used as boy's name Augustine, is a variant of Augusta (Latin), and the meaning of Augustine is "great, magnificent". See also Austine.

I like August for a boy alot
but would probably never use it..my husband would never go for it

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

August gets my vote! For some reason I've always preferred the nickname Auggie over Gus. Not sure why.

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

I like the nn Augie, but with only one 'g'.

I love August, then Augustin and then Augustus... like others have said, it reminds me of Augustus Gloop.

[monkey-fruit.livejournal.com]

August, no nickname.

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

I prefer Augustin because it abolishes the Augustus Gloop connotation while keeping a more distinguished feel to it that August alone lacks.

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

Pronounced ow-GUS-tin

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

ow-GOOS-tin

[soundofbusiness.livejournal.com]

August, but only when pronounced OW-gust
