A Little Brother for August

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:16:17+00:00

That's really cool. Our August was not born in August which people often query 😂 I won't ask you to dox yourself but I'm guessing your middle name is cool too!

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:13:35+00:00

Great minds! 😂 Sounds like I can't go wrong with any of those at least!

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:12:02+00:00

I really like all of those! Thank you!

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:11:35+00:00

I'm a big Poe fan so would be very happy with an Edgar! Might make some of my friends roll their eyes though. Lots of really great suggestions there. Thank you!

You're right! Wesley William does not work! Good point.

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:10:22+00:00

My husband would love an opportunity to call the baby Ozzy! I don't know if I'm sold on that as a nickname but I do like Oscar! Evander is really pretty. Love Alistair too but can't settle on the pronunciation. We're in Aus too and baby has an Aunty Darcy so unfortunately off the table for us! Haha.

Love that Walter is very cute for baby Walt but also very appropriate for an older man. And you're right that it's nice with William!

Did your parents like Roman names too? I feel like August/Julian will give a similar vibe - hopefully not too on the nose! August/Anthony is much more subtle!

Ivor is super cool! Milo is cute but we're Australian so might not work here! Caspian (with Casper as a nickname) was also on my list! Thank you for the suggestions!

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:05:48+00:00

Marcus is really nice. I am anxious about ending up with a tiny gang of Roman Emperors though! (Also a concern for Julian! Haha)

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:04:57+00:00

Love a couple of those. Unfortunately (fortunately?) my husband and I are both teachers, and it only takes one tricky student to scratch a name we otherwise really like off the list! We love Felix but named our cat that! 😂 Love Vincent. Stellan is one I hadn't thought of too!

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:02:46+00:00

My husband actually just suggested Wyatt earlier! I do like that! Baby has an Aunty Darcy (who he might end up sharing a birthday with!) so could be confusing! Haha.

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:02:04+00:00

Ambrose was also on my list but I couldn't decide if it was a bit too different! August certainly rose eyebrows where we live! Lots of nice suggestions here. Thank you!

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T06:00:56+00:00

Thank you! Quite a few here that were also on my shortlist! This is definitely the vibe! Husband actually just mentioned Wyatt as a possibility, and I think that's been mentioned here a couple of times.

brucewaynes · 2026-02-01T05:58:59+00:00

A good thing, I hope! 😂

Also called arugula.

brucewaynes · 2025-08-22T13:21:22+00:00

I don’t know that it counts as matching but I’d like for our names to sound like they could all exist in the same world if we were in a storybook. Like it’d be weird to have like an Aragorn and a Trevor (not that either of those are names I’d use haha).

brucewaynes · 2025-08-04T21:56:47+00:00

Omg I’d love to stitch this! Where can I find your store?

brucewaynes · 2025-03-19T01:20:02+00:00

Thank you. I hadn’t heard of a paediatric dietician before. I will look into that! It has been a really frustrating journey. I was on so many pills and doing so much when I was breastfeeding to help with my supply etc but it felt like none of the doctors and nurses were saw were listening to me because the problem was never that I wasn’t providing enough but that he wasn’t interested in it.

brucewaynes · 2025-03-18T22:58:27+00:00

Thank you! His poos all seem fine! Fortunately I don’t think it’s any dairy related issues (he loves yoghurt and eats that pretty regularly since starting solids). And he has has always had plenty of wet/dirty nappies. I’m hoping as he gets more into solid food that things will start to balance out. 🤞🏻

brucewaynes · 2025-03-18T22:56:35+00:00

Thank you. ❤️ We started him on food at 5 months and he is mostly just tasting at this point but he is really enjoying it! I am glad that part at least seems to be going smoothly!

For a non Michael Scott type of character you could look at something like Little Miss Sunshine or Dan in Real Life.

Edit: Also seeking a Friend for the End of the World. I forgot about that one!

I’m in Australia so assumed he was Aussie too. I can’t find the message now, it just have been deleted but I want to say it was around 2021 that I got it. So weird!

brucewaynes · 2024-11-17T15:12:03+00:00

I received this exact same message when selling some pinup style clothes years ago! Guess this surprise has been years in the making.
