Augusta

I've always loved this name. My brother's middle name is Augustus and it's very similar. And I like the nickname "Gussie" for it.

Augusta (nn Gussie, Gus~Gus) is my cats name, every time I say her name I fall in love with it a little more, it’s never gotten old or dull, only more grand and queenly. In fact I’m actually a little disappointed I named a cat this because I’m not sure if I could give a daughter the same name as a childhood pet haha.
Anyway, my point is, someone please, please name your daughter Augusta, I want to live vicariously through you lol.

A brilliant and grand name, Gus or Gussie being great nicknames for a little girl named Augusta too.

Augusta is a very beautiful name!

This is a gorgeous and stately name that goes back to the Roman Empire.

Wonderful, strong, classic name, Augusta! It's rare, has history and has class! Quality name. I like it!

I don't like August on girls, but I really like Augusta! It sounds very classy and elegant. I don't like any of the nicknames, however. If I had a daughter named Augusta, I'd just refer to her as Augusta.

This is one of the very few names I honestly do not care about what other people think. August, Augusta, Auguste- great names, love em. Absolute guilty pleasure.

August is becoming increasingly popular for boys, so I don't see why Augusta couldn't make a comeback for girls. I admit it sounds a bit elderly, but the nicknames Aggie and Gus could make it more approachable. I also love the association with Lady Augusta Bracknell, a character in my favourite play, "The Importance of Being Earnest".

I can see this name making a comeback, as well as the names Harriet and Edith. Be prepared: I bet Augusta will be the next new trend!

I adore this name, I'm going to use it as a middle name for my first born daughter. (If I have one) After the month both my mother, myself and my deceased twin sister was born in, I'd find it funny and sweet if she was born in August too.

My middle name is Augusta. I hate it but it's a middle name so it doesn't really matter. My parents met in Augusta, Georgia and decided to make that my middle name... creative.

My name is Augusta, when I was a child I hated it. Now I Love it. It's Unique and I doubt I will never meet another. I was born in August. Family calls me Gussie Friends call me Gus. The nicknames were horrible but I got over them.

What a serious but lovely name; genteel and sophisticated. I was all set to add this to the short list of girl names until I had a thought: A-gust-a wind. And that was that for Augusta. Too bad.

Of course, I know it is the capital of Maine, which is a beautiful state that I adore, but I had never actually heard it used as someone's name until about 10 years ago. It seems crisp, light, and welcoming; or maybe that's my thoughts about Maine creeping in. Either way, I love it.

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.

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.

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.
