[Opinions] Re: Augustana
in reply to a message by LMS
Fat ditto to the two previous posters. Augustana looks/is made up. I would go with August Anna (gorgeous, though I believe it's one of Garth Brooks's daughters' names, if that bothers you...no idea how I remember things like that). I prefer Augustine (on a boy or girl) or Augustina (always thought it was frilly/silly, but then I saw it on a little girl in a Gap ad and she just rocked the name, totally pulled it off).

Augustana is the name of an indie rock band; they sing the song "Boston". This would be the same thing as naming a child Nirvana."Fathers be good to your daughters,
Daughters will love like you do.
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers.
So mothers, be good to your daughters too." - John Mayer

Yeah, but I wouldn't name a child Nirvana. Nirvana was also a word long before it was a band, and Augustana isn't. And I just wouldn't name a child after a band. Sorry.

I don't think you understood me, I was trying to say that it would be awful to name a child Augustana because it is a band. I wholeheartedly agree with you!"Fathers be good to your daughters,
Daughters will love like you do.

Ohhhhhhh. Lol, we are in agreement.I was going to add, "I wouldn't name my child Modest Mouse just because I like the band!" Thought that might be a little unnecessary, though.
