[Opinions] Work BA
Someone in another department where I work just had a baby boy. The name is (drum-roll please)...Augustine "Auggie" William! (In the announcement, big brother is apparently called Asher.)Normally I'm not big on the "August-family" of names, but this birth announcement is pleasantly surprising.Anyway, wdyt?***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

I don’t care for either name independently (even though I love August), but I think it’s overall refreshing to see and agree that it’s pleasantly surprising.

Awe I really like that name actually. Augustine I like better than August. Super cute!

Congrats!I like Asher! It's a happy name.William is fine too.I am sorry, but I find Augustine very ugly. I have this problem with all of the names in this family: Augustine, Augusta, August. The Gus/Gust part is just ugly to me and I also dislike Auggie and Gus as nicknames a lot.Auggie sounds extremely stereotypically nerdy. Not that there is anything wrong with being nerdy but it is so over the top, like a comic character name. Kind of like naming the stereotypically good-girl who reads the Bible every morning Mary-Grace. It's just so obvious and unrealistic and cliché.

I love August names. Augustine William is beautiful.

I am happy to see you and just wanted to let you know that I think you can reactivate your account (at least in the next 2 weeks or so) so if you want to activate it again I think it is possible.

Why thank you Perrine! Happy to see you too. I am aware and I’ll probably reactivate soon.

A guy that I know who goes by Auggie ruined it for me, though I never loved the nickname to begin with; it feels really juvenile, even infantile…I don’t think it’s a pleasant sound and it reminds me of…mush…Augustine William is awesome, though.
