    Not a fan of Gustin. I like August. Augustus feels a bit heavy to me but there's nothing wrong with it, just nms

    Gustin was actually my grandfather's name which is why it is included although it is not my favorite. This whole idea is to honor him!

    I dislike the shortness of Gus as a fn especially because mn and ln are also one syallble.

    I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce Gustavo or Gustave. They sound Italian or Spanish? We are not Italian or Spanish so it seems strange to use a name we have no ties to.

    Completely agree with your reason for not wanting to use Gustavo.

    And thank you for clarifying why you chose Gustin ... Makes more sense now.

    ^^ yes, now Gustin makes more sense. Still voting for August. (It was on my short list, I'm partial to it)
