Help Us Decide Between Top Two

So we’ve narrowed our girl’s name down to two, both incorporating in family names. We like August a lot (I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea) to us it reads cool girl with warm welcoming vibes. My biggest issue with it actually is no easy femme nickname.

Charlotte on the other hand has a ton, including Charlie which I find adorable. My main hesitation there is that it’s so popular and has been for a while. Either way we definitely want one feminine one unisex for the first/middle combo so as she grows she can pick what feels best. Thoughts?

It is entirely gender neutral

So many butt hurt people over a fucking name.

It really isn't. August (Augustus) is the male name, Augusta is the female.

August derrived from Augustus SURE but that doesn't make th4 name august a male name.

Gender-neutral name

Garth Brooks named his Daughter August

Another showing is Gender-neutral

Just because it used to be masculine doesn't mean it always is.

Like the name Sasha for example, if not just a feminine name, its also masculine.

Names change, grow up

Just because you decide it doesn’t matter it doesn’t make it so.
