Augustus

Do you hear August when you say this name??

DH and I are really liking this name and is our front runner if LO is a boy.  But my problem is my name is April and I DO NOT want a month name for my baby. 

So is Augustus too close to August?

August was named for Augustus, so the smilarity is going to be there.

First I think of Augustus Gloop and laugh hysterically, then I think of the month.

I think of the emperor first, but I agree that the similarity is there, but it's not dire to me. What's the nn going to be? You might distance yourself that way.

I think of Willy Wonka before I think of the month.

Well he would most likely be called Gus most of the time. 

I guess I'm just worried that if we used this name people would think that we are a naming our kids Month names......I want to avoid that. 

I do know that Augustus is from August I was just hoping that the month is not what people would think if first.

The similarity is there in spelling but when I say Augustus I'm not pronouncing it August - us. Even though your name is April I wouldn't let that deter you from using Augustus either. I think it is an awesome name. So when I hear the name Augustus I don't think about the month.

I wouldn't use it in your case. (Actually, personally I wouldn't use it at all, but with your name I definitely think of a month theme.)

I think of Willy Wonka, Emperor, and then the month.
