Eugenie's son's names revealed

Perhaps Hawke after his fathers family

Hecky pecky, this poor kid will get some ribbing at school with a name like August!

Great choice of name,Hawke is interesting.

August is just ridiculous.

I love to read about the names babies are given. I’m sure Prince Philip will be pleased. He needs some cheerful news at the moment.
Hawke reminds me of Hawke’s Bay in NZ.
I wonder what he will actually be called? If it’s the first name, will the emphasis be on the Au like the month, or the gust like an august personage?

Why not February?

He will just get called "Gus" by his mates. That's ok.

Augustus was DH's grandfather's name (Italian descent).
Had I known this when my son was born, I think I would have had as a middle name.

I think I much prefer the name Augustus to August.

Why is August ridiculous Kandinsky? It’s an old name, his ancestor was called it, and it’s unusual. That doesn’t make it ridiculous. They will probably know him as Gus, which is not even that uncommon. People call their babies much more ridiculous names than that.

Agree Ellieanne will probably be shortened to Gus.

My dad had friend called Gus, expect it was probably short for Angus ??

ear worm now ?Get on the bus Gus...?

You don't need to discuss much! Just listen to me..
Make a new plan, Stan!

We took my mum to see the Chippendales in days gone by.

This young man appeared an stage and introduced himself as August. “What a strange name” said mum. He was actually telling us which month he was representing on the Chippendales calendar ??

Not at Eton he won't! be ribbed at school! August seems to be a popular name especially for German Princes, so maybe not too ridiculous! Not sure how you pronounce it though in English. AugUst maybe?!

I quite like it. Gus will be the nickname though.

I have a vague memory now about a grim children's poem (the kind I loved) about a boy called Augustus.
He wouldn't eat his soup.

I quite like, yes. Not what I was expecting, but a good name.

it's a fine name, classic and timeless.
i think i would rather have chosen Augustine or Augustus, but i like their choice.
as for ribbing at school. i doubt it. youngsters are much more open=minded, they just accept people and their names, unless adults put negative ideas in their minds...

Maybe it will be pronounced, 'Ow goost'

People have been mangling Eugenie's name for years.

You’re maligning Augustus misadventure.

“He always did as he was told
And never let his soup get cold”

Was it peas he wouldn't eat then?
I shall have to google I think.

It's the name of emperors and saints. Kinda.

??

No worse than April, May and June when you think about it.
