August is exclusively male in Sweden, so I think it sounds very awkward on a girl.
It should be pretty nice as a name. But then, listen to it. It's so plain and clunky! Especially with the surname - the -GUST ZUCK- part makes it more unfortunate, sound-wise. And her older sister's name is so sleek and power-y and feminine in contrast ... I'd resent this difference if I were August. If her older sister were, say, February or Ronalda, that would seem more fair. Augusta Zuckerberg does sound better and I agree they should've gone with that.

I know a 17-year-old female August. It's not terrible, but I prefer it for a boy.
I don't mind August for a girl. I think it has a masculine enough sound that it isn't going to "switch" any time soon and it's the name of a month as well, which definitely makes it more unisex. It has a similar feel to River.
I too would have preferred Augusta but I think the flow of August Zuckerberg is better than Augusta Zuckerberg. I hope they call her Gussie or Augie as a nickname.
Max and Gussie sound very cute as sisters.
