Mandy Moore recently welcomed her son, August Harrison Goldsmith, and revealed the touching significance behind his name. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the singer and actress shared a sweet photo of her baby boy peacefully sleeping under a blanket with his name stitched on it. She expressed that August was particularly meaningful as it was the month she and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, learned they were expecting a boy—coincidentally, it’s also Taylor’s birth month.
“It was last August when @taylordawesgoldsmith and I found out we were having a boy (it’s also Taylor’s birth month) and we always loved the name… so it was settled very early on in our book,” Mandy captioned the image. The blanket, which holds even more sentimental value, was a gift from Taylor for their anniversary. It features an “A” for Amanda and a “T” for Taylor, made from fabric remnants of her wedding dress and his wedding shirt.
She added, “Felt like a very fitting amalgamation of our whole story. I can’t wait to pass this on to our sweet August one day.” It’s a touching narrative that certainly warms the heart. Additionally, many may have been surprised to learn that “Mandy” is actually short for “Amanda.”
The couple announced their baby’s arrival on Instagram, stating, “Gus is here 💙💙💙💙. Our sweet boy, August Harrison Goldsmith.” He arrived right on his due date, bringing immense joy to his parents. Mandy previously shared her excitement about becoming a mother after struggling with infertility. “The little things kind of get me. Like, I was online buying pacifiers yesterday and I just turned to my husband and I was like, It’s real. There’s going to be a little human that needs a pacifier,” she reflected.
While her original birth plan had to be adjusted due to health reasons, it’s wonderful to know that August was born safe and sound, carrying such a special name.
