This is Lady Bracknell's first name in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of being Earnest." It is one of my favourite plays!

I like this name, but whenever I hear it I can't help thinking of the rumors about the Victorian poet Lord Byron and his sister Augusta.

Ha this is my name. I actually like it; I've never heard of another real life Augusta, as the name is extremely unusual for my age group. I'm not sure what my parents were thinking. My siblings all have normal(ish) names. I'm just glad to have the last name Leigh. Nothing else really seems like it would go with AUgusta. I think I'll keep my maiden name forever.

This is a beautiful, strong name that should be used more often! The fact that it's a royal name should be enough to use it for some.
