About this list
August names for babies born in the last full month of summer might relate to August's birthstones, peridot and onyx, or might be names linked August's birth flowers, the poppy and gladiola. The name August itself is fashionable right now, but less popular variants such as Augusta and Augustine would also be lovely on an August baby.
Along with Poppy and Onyx, other August baby names in the US Top 1000 include Apollo, Austin, Ariella, Cyrus, Nolan, Oakley, Octavia, and Summer. Among the more unique August names to consider are Theodota and Tuesday, Leander and Levon.
Names for babies born in August can also include those that reference the zodiac signs of the month, Leo and Virgo. Names connected to warmth and sunshine are also appropriate for an August baby.
