Masculine names with the meaning of some obvious object: an animal, plant, or, in this case, one of the calendar months, this object should be considered their main talisman.

Character named Augustus
How does the name affect its owners? Parents who decide to give their son the male name August, from a young age, the child will notice that he is different from their peers. Changes in mood will accompany the baby the entire period of growing up - here he is laughing carelessly and having fun, but suddenly, for no reason, subsides and plunges into some kind of childish thoughtfulness. The power of majesty, embodied in the morphology of the name, seems to press down the small possessor, so far unable to cope with it. The bastion of Augustus’s character will always be moral - even as a little boy, he subconsciously manages to distinguish good from bad and will always make the right choice.
The minus character of the young owner can be a rapidly developing megalomania - it happens to everyone whose name is not only beautiful and sonorous, but also filled with powerful energy. Masculine names with a meaning of greatness always conceal this danger. You should refrain from too frequent praise and admiration, otherwise there is a risk of growing a narcissistic monster. Instead, you need to give your son more time to spend with other children, and give pleasant praise to the whole team, not to individuals. The boy will learn to value himself and others, and not to put himself above others.
As a grown man, Augustus inclines to melancholy without showing it in public. For this reason, it can be very difficult for a name holder to endure loneliness, but surrounded by family or loyal friends, he will certainly be the soul of the company, without stopping joking and amusing others.
Profession and career
What does the name August mean in terms of a career? Even if a man with this name was brought up correctly and overcome the sprouts of megalomania in him, the name will still move its owner up. In any profession, he wants to lead, command, manage, be the center of attention. However, he will not apply for the position of "the chief director" - a man named Augustus will simply be bored surrounded by authorities and important papers, people should be around him all the time. Teamwork would be ideal for him, within which you can take a leading position, but at the same time working on an equal basis with everyone. The meaning of the name August when choosing a profession is very significant - parents should not be surprised if the small owner of the name answers the question “who do you want to be?” Without hesitation and answer with “king” or “general”. However, with age, a man will never go to politics or military affairs - remember, that the stronghold of his character is moral? So it will not allow contact with such controversial industries.
Most likely adult August will be able to build a good career in business. Perhaps he will even become an entrepreneur, businessman, but in practice he will be one of those owners who always work shoulder to shoulder with his subordinates. This helps him strengthen his authority and gain respect. If a representative of the name will have some talents in the field of art from birth, in adulthood he can go into show business and achieve success. But then the once suppressed megalomania will return to it. Well, if he always has someone nearby who is able to lower him to the ground. Augustus can also succeed in sports - to achieve heights in youth, and then go into coaching.
Love and marriage
Despite the frequent amorousness that will haunt the bearer of a name from an early youth, parents should not hope for an early marriage of their son. Every little thing is important in love for the owners of the name Augustus, and therefore, before entering into marriage, he will look for the “same one” for a long time - and, as a rule, cannot find it for a long time. By the age of 30, having recognized several very different girls, he will finally be able to understand who he wants to see next to him, and, having found such a companion, he will create a family. As a rule, Augustus chooses women opposite to themselves as wives. If he himself personifies the end of summer, may be quick-tempered, too cheerful or too sad, then he needs a woman, like the early winter - with colder emotions that he should "melt".
The owner of this name will certainly be able to become a good family man, a good husband and a fair father. Most likely, he will find his happiness with a woman named Angelica, Ava, Diana, Eve, Elizabeth, Yana. Relations with Anfisa, Irina, Marta and Rosa will be unsuccessful.
