August Baby Names
Is August your favorite month of the year? Whether that’s due to baby’s arrival or a long-standing love of the beautiful summer month, August is a feel-good time of year. August baby names remind the bearer of the joy of taking it slow and living life under the cover of sunshine. If baby is bound to be a beach bum, you can teach them to take this summer-lovin’ with them every day with an August baby girl, boy, or gender-neutral name.

What makes a good August baby name?
A good August baby name encapsulates the warmth and joy of this sunny time of year. With name definitions relating to all things bright, summery, and colorful, an August baby name is designed with energy in mind. Baby might not be able to photosynthesize, but you can still teach them about the nourishment the blue sky and the great outdoors offer. August baby names are splendid by default and will shine every day, not just for one of the sunniest months of the year.
What is special about the month of August?
August is a time where—in the northern hemisphere—the summer begins to draw to a close with one last ditch effort and a burst of sunshine. But it’s also a time of plenty of holidays! These range from important to delicious to downright whacky occasions. The essential reminders are awareness-driven measures like American Artist Appreciation Month, Black Business, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month. The absolutely delectable holidays look like National Goat Cheese Month, National Panini Month, National Peach Month, and National Sandwich Month! But to cap it all off, August is also the bearer of proud titles like National Andrew Day, Spider-Man Day, and International Clown Week. August is an undeniably special month full of opportunities for creative celebrations!
What are the signs of August?
If the night sky rules your life, then you’ll likely be teaching baby the same astrological rulings. The signs of August are Leo and Virgo, with the lion and virgin being the representatives. Leos are believed to be ambitious, loyal, and fierce in equal measure. They also evidently have a propensity for luxury, ensuring they're bedecked in comforts and beauty their whole life. Virgos are believed to be vastly different despite their closeness in the calendar to Leos. The Virgo sign is ruled by logic, practicality, and a streak of perfectionism. These signs encourage baby to embrace their ferocity no matter how those traits appear throughout life.
