Moore introduced August to the world on February 23 and a day later, she posted again to explain the reason behind his name.  

She shared a sweet snap of the infant sleeping under a gray blanket emblazoned with his name August sewn out of pieces of different cloth.

‘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 said. 

‘Then for our anniversary in November, T gifted me with this blanket with the “A” (for Amanda) made from extra material from my wedding dress and “T” (for Taylor) from his wedding shirt. Felt like a very fitting amalgamation of our whole story.’

She added: ‘I can’t wait to pass this on to our sweet August one day.’
