That's actually a good idea, its better than Auggie or Gus.

Auggie is my favorite

I prefer August as is. Augustus I could tolerate being a 'Gus', since the second syllable is emphasized.

Auggie is too childish.

Auggie or Gus

Definitely Gus. Auggie sounds stuffy and stiff. For August I personally wouldn't nickname at all.

I only like Auggie. If not them, just plain August.

Um.. I like Oz, Ozzy and Austin the best (the latter suggested by Felie).
I don't like Gus, Gussie or Gusty.
Auggie is cute, but can be outgrown quickly.

Hi !!!

I've never thought about Oz, Ozzy or Ozzie as nicknames for August.

I like these nicknames also as standalone names (strange for my habits as I dislike NNs). I really like how they sounds.

I do too, maybe due to The Wizard association. They just sound cool.
I also often do not like nicknames as standalone names, but there are exceptions.

I know an adult Auggie and words can’t describe how much I loathe it. It’s so infantile and gooey and poopy. I like August / Augustus as is with the occasional nickname of Gus.
