Is it OK to name a boy "August" if he is born in July?

Question

My baby is due in August but what if he comes in July? We both love the name August!!

Answer

My cousin named her daughter Summer she was born in December...

Answer

I know a boy called August and he’s pretty hot.

Answer

The name August has its origins in the Latin language. Many Roman emperors had that name. The month got its name from a Roman emperor not the other way round. It means something like “the esteemed or venerable”- the verb being augere, meaning to increase. 
It’s perfectly fine for a July boy ;)

Answer

The months being right next to  each other is what makes it funny. If he was born in April it would not be an issue.

Answer

Coming from a girl with experience, being named after a month isn't great.
