Agatha?

If a girl, what do you think of the name Agatha? Is it too old-fashioned? 'Her' brother is called Charles.

Yeah, that's partly what I'm worried about. It's also the name of the really strict aunt in Bertie Wooster. I think she could be stereotyped.

It's absolutely beautiful and much better then most of the popular (i.e. boring) names people use today.

Go for it!

I have an Agatha, beautiful name x

It's hideous.

Love it.

Not so keen on Aggie, Thea was our choice of NN.

Although, wasn't the horrible head mistress in Matilda called Agatha?

deemented · 27/04/2011 19:23

Not keen, sorry.

takewhatyoucan · 27/04/2011 19:22

I actually really like it, it's not a name I have considered before!

mazzi2fly · 27/04/2011 19:22

I don't like it at all

mandoo · 27/04/2011 19:22

Aggie is sweet, not sure I would go for the full on Agatha.

WinkyWinkola · 27/04/2011 19:21

I think it an ugly name.
