Apparently, someone's gone and done it. There is restaurant named August in New York. Judging by The Wandering Eater, who blogged a bit about it, but more importantly, took pictures, it's an establishment I'd be proud to be involved with. The restaurant just got mentioned on Epicurious.
I'm sure they've been around for a while, but I just heard about them recently. Since I am very far away from New York, I suppose the chance of eating there myself is rather small. Incidentally, I don't think I would name a restaurant with my own name; I know of too many cases where the business gets sold and suddenly someone else has rights to the name. It's harder to detach your personal reputation from the business in those situations, and it must be quite upsetting if someone runs your namesake into the ground.
In any case, August (the restaurant) looks rather impressive to me from my end of the internet.
