Thoughts on the name Agnes?

i absolutley loveee it ! it’s so underused, its vintage, has charm and it’s elegant, what’s not to like :wink:

I love it! And the nickname [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] is adorable. TBH though, I am well aware that it’s not for everyone and could come across as clunky and heavy. [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is the combo that comes to mind

It’s definitely in my top dozen girl names. I just love it! But then, I tend to prefer slightly “clunky” names. Favorites include [name_f]Prudence[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_u]Howard[/name_u], [name_u]Walter[/name_u], and [name_u]Douglas[/name_u].

I don’t like it at all, but that is me. I much prefer the Spanish version [name_f]Inez[/name_f].

As a devout [name_u]Christian[/name_u], I love the meaning of the name [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]. If only [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] sounded as pretty as its meaning. [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] also means lamb and has a more flattering cadence.

I have an [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], she is nearly 18 months.

It raises eyebrows when people ask her name but that makes me love it more!

We also have a 5yo [name_f]Edith[/name_f] so we are massive fans of the ‘old and clunky’ vibe :rofl: (we realised it’s the same as the siblings in Despicable Me, but only children seem to make the connection so it’s fine).

I like it and I also really like the nickname [name_f]Aggie[/name_f].

Same, I adore the meaning. Unfortunately I’ve known too many Rachels and it has a distinct time period feel to it…

That’s a lovely sibset! I adore vintage names as well. Did you have other names on your shortlist for [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]?

[name_f]Aggie[/name_f] is really cute!

Beauuuuuutiful :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Agnes is so awesome!

The song “Agnes” by Glass Animals convinced me to love it

I love [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]! It’s a very strong, beautiful name. X
