Some of you have probably heard me mention that [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] is my top girls name, and has been for years. However, she’s so, so hard to find middles for, especially because I want something that helps her shine and that I love enough to want to pair with her!
Here is a very quick moodboard of [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]:
Kind of a warm, golden, autumnal, victorian feel-red leaves, foxes, brown dresses, sunshine, corsets, laceup boots, sleek ringlets, and violins. She has a bit of spunk too, I picture her hair coming loose in the wind and her dress hem getting muddy. A loyal, loving, sweet person that everyone loves to be around and who has a very calming nature.
I used to have [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Florentina[/name_f] on my list, but I’m not 100% happy with her. What middle would you give her and why?
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Florentina[/name_f] is beautiful! I love [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].
Some ideas…
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Moriah[/name_f] – [name_f]Moriah[/name_f] reminds me of autumn leaves, brown vintage dresses and leather boots, and books wrapped in twine. It’s vintage and unexpected, and sweet with a spunkiness to it. I think it totally fits the imagery you’ve described/shown in the moodboard.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] – [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] is totally golden and leafy to me! I think it has that balance of sweet and spunky as well.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] – [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] is the definition of a sweet-but-spunky vintage name to me! Also totally autumnal feeling.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] – [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] has that sweet, spunky, clunky-cute feeling to me! Totally reminds me of brown dresses and laceup boots. I can totally picture [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] on an old-fashioned bicycle, racing around town with her hair flying out behind her, her ribbon barely hanging on.
@cms1512 -Agnes [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] is beautiful! @EagleEyes -Moriah is never, ever something I would have considered, but I actually love her here! [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] is also great- your options are all spot on vibe wise! @marigold.solstice -Agnes [name_f]Roberta[/name_f] is my favourite; I have [name_f]Roberta[/name_f] on my list but never thought to pair her with [name_f]Aggie[/name_f]! I also love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Marilla[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], and Geraldine!! Thank you for your thoughts!

@winterlyricalfox - I really love [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], she fits the vibe perfectly. Unfortunately I am already using her in another combo…I’ll think about it. [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Sunflower[/name_f] is stunning! I also love [name_f]Philomena[/name_f], Maeblythe, [name_f]Honora[/name_f], [name_f]Perpetua[/name_f], and [name_f]Corinthia[/name_f]!
@Unice9729- I actually still really love [name_f]Florentina[/name_f], it’s just that I selected her at random and I wanted to find something a bit more meaningful to me!

@tori101- Wow, these suggestions are amazing! I love [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_f]Daylily[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Floralie[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Willodean[/name_f], and [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f]! Thank you so much!
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] → [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] gives me very similar vibes to the ones your described and showed in the mood board - golden, calming but sparky, sometimes elegant but with kick too. It has grandeur as a combo but also feels soft?
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Leontine[/name_f] → it gives me those sleek, sophisticated, victorian vibes; lyrical and arty but strong and regal too - it gives me the feel of someone who loves to perform and create and who’s both in touch with nature and refine
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Frederica[/name_f] / [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Frederika[/name_f] - one that feels both cosy and rugged, sophisticated and strong but kind hearted and friendly - it’s warm but spikey
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Melodie[/name_f] / [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Melodia[/name_f] / [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] → for it’s musical, bright, warm feel, the poetic, creative, for some reason autumnal quality it holds for me.
I sort of do this. If I have a first name and I need a middle or two, I’ll use any name that fits, regardless of how meaningful it is, or how much I like it. Thats why I’m going to redo mt UC and add more “established” combos.
It is best to choose something you 100% love, rather than something you just love.
OK right off the bat because of your mood board I’m suggesting [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Apricity[/name_f], yes it’s a double a but [name_f]Apricity[/name_f] means the warmth of the sun in winter. Like when you feel the warmth of the sun on your face that’s [name_f]Apricity[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] for the sun again
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] I feel like fits your board so well
@Greyblue - I love these- especially [name_f]Frederica[/name_f] and Melodia!! Your descriptions are beautiful too! @luneth- Out of your ideas I love [name_f]Faustina[/name_f], [name_f]Fiametta[/name_f], [name_f]Venezia[/name_f], and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]! Thank you for your participation! @DCAT - [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] have such a warm vintage feel to them, and fit perfectly! @somemelodioussonnet -Evita is precious, and [name_u]Fern[/name_u] is beautiful too! @isabellesmama22 [name_f]Apricity[/name_f] has such a lovely meaning, and does fit so well- I love you description!
