What do you think of the name Augusta?

I like it. It sounds very regal.

It sounds very old-lady-like and it always makes me think of Neville Longbottom's grandmother Augusta, from the Harry Potter series. Neville's terrified of his grandma and he describes her as strict and harsh. Everytime I hear this name, I think of those qualities and that isn't good for this name.

I adore Augusta! It's certainly regal.

It used to be popular among the royals of Germany. They had it in England too. George III's mother was named Augusta, and so was his older sister and second daughter.
