In my family it has always been males that have had it (Including me as it is my middle name) when females in the family have had that name, including my paternal grandmother, it has always had an "a" at the end, Augusta.  I am at least the 5th generation of males in my family to have the name, all of us being from Prussia or Prussian-American.
