August Philip Hawke Brooksbank

[burlyshirley]

Name of Princess Eugenie's baby.

Do you like it ? Nice that they've called him Philip after her Grandad, but personally, I'm not too keen on August.

[Jackdaw33]

Shortened form of Augustus, an old royal name.

[Vagus]

August is apparently after Prince Alberts middle name, and Hawke a family name of the Brooksbanks.

[emmie]

i quite like it...

[burlyshirley]

I quite like Augustus.

[Buenchico]

I couldn't care less about the (so-called) Royal family but I'm confused by that first name.

Is pronounced like the month of August (with the stress on the first syllable) or as in, say, "one is in very august company" (where the stress is on the second syllable)?

[Mamyalynne]

Nice names, he's a little cutie too.

[maggiebee]

Doubt if I will ever meet him so won't be practising how to say his name lol

[-SharonA-]

They will be calling him Gussie.

[Jackdaw33]

Gus, or Augy, common diminutives of the name.

[emmie]

shame if they shorten it, but he could use Philip if first name isn't liked.

Pleased Philip is in there , not sure about the August tag though :0(

[Lie-in King]

I like the names :-)

[Jackdaw33]

The first Duke of Sussex was called Augustus.

[Patsy33]

Yes, when you stress on the Au, sounds better.
Gorgeous little baby.

[anneasquith]

Wee Gus, nice .

August seems like a female name to me, while Augustus just reminds me of the fat kid in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Still, if they are happy with it, good luck to them.

[burlyshirley]

He is a lovely little thing.
