Augustana is a college in Illinois, so that's what I think of. I imagine that if I could get that association removed, I would think it is pretty enough, if a bit long.

I much prefer Augusta or Augustina
Augustana seems a little clumsy and heavy in feel to me,its like two names awkwardly pushed together, the middle name would have to be short like Augustana Rose, Augustana Grace, Augustana Lily,
I think it works better as a middle name Lily Augustana, Julie Augustana, Ruth Augustana,
NN Gussy Ana Tanny

Fat ditto to the two previous posters. Augustana looks/is made up. I would go with August Anna (gorgeous, though I believe it's one of Garth Brooks's daughters' names, if that bothers you...no idea how I remember things like that). I prefer Augustine (on a boy or girl) or Augustina (always thought it was frilly/silly, but then I saw it on a little girl in a Gap ad and she just rocked the name, totally pulled it off).

Augustana is the name of an indie rock band; they sing the song "Boston". This would be the same thing as naming a child Nirvana.

I don't think you understood me, I was trying to say that it would be awful to name a child Augustana because it is a band. I wholeheartedly agree with you!

Ohhhhhhh. Lol, we are in agreement.
I was going to add, "I wouldn't name my child Modest Mouse just because I like the band!" Thought that might be a little unnecessary, though.

I don't find it attractive in the slightest--I have a hateon for most -ana names, though. I think Augusta or Augustina would be far prettier.
Augustana Ruth comes to mind first. Augustana Edith, Augustana Ivy, Augustana Helen, Augustana Christine, Augustana Quinn, Augustana Ingrid?
I think it works best with a one or two syllable middle name.

I want to be be more like a river--
Less like a wall--
Not trying to hold back these feelings at all.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
