[Opinions] Re: I love it for a girl as well and don't see how it is strictly male (m)
in reply to a message by Lily8
I think it's because the month is named after Augustus so strictly speaking August isn't really a month name, not like February or October.
Also, August is not originally an English name but Scandinavian, Polish and German where August is just a name (and stricly male) and not a month. It's a coincidence, I believe, that August also is a month in English and because of that seen as a unisex name.

I do see the name as a unisex name, however, I prefer it on a boy! nt  ·  Egyptian Princess  ·  3/17/2009, 4:02 PM
