What do you think of the name August for a boy?

I’m really loving this name at the moment, but have a few concerns!

1) Nickname options! Augie or Gus? I’m not really in love with either.

2) Does he have to be born in august for it to not be silly? Someone made a comment of “it’s stupid if he’s not born in august”. I’m born in August, but he may not be!

3) How does it sound paired with Michael. August Michael... classy? Too out there? Would you be happy with this name?

YES!!! The full name is 'Augustus' from Augustus Caesar' of the Roman Empire. 
'August is a diminutive and 'Gus' is a nickname.

Why burden your child witha name that is neither cute or unique but really odd. Why even bother naming him August if you already are thinking of other names to call him...Auggie, Gus? Both are equally as terrible.

Name your child a → real name← not the name of a mouth, day, city, country or state, color or tree.

You may as well name him Jacket and call him Jack.

This question has been asked before.. it’s annoying 

1: both Auggie and Gus are hideous

2: just name your kid whatever you want. He doesn’t have to be born in August 

3: August Michael doesn’t flow. Not to mention that it’s the most common name on the planet. Never in a million years would I use Michael
