[Opinions] Re: Augusta
in reply to a message by queenv
Victoria is a goddess of victory, and in recent history, a famous one was the long reigning queen of an empire, while Augusta is a name used by ancient empresses.
To me, Augusta is a little more approachable because it's shorter, and the idea of Gus as a NN is so humble seeming. I like the contrast. Victoria has been more recently popular, and it's more widespread, so more familiar. They're about even in terms of the aura of "power" I think they give off, which is what people react to IMO.
I think it'd be nice if Augusta was more widespread. I think it's wearable.
I'm not really dissing Victoria; I was teasing a little, because I have gotten the cold/haughty feedback about it. I do enjoy the regality of the name, might as well own it.
