What are your thoughts on Agatha for a girl?

I prefer Agata or Agnes

fruityconfusedhotdog · 15/12/2019 15:26

I love it! Would have used it for my daughter but I share a surname with the writer Agatha so...

user1493494961 · 15/12/2019 15:22

I don't think Agatha is elegant, I think it's ugly.

AppleKatie · 15/12/2019 14:53

I love it.
But I’m probably too much of a wuss to use it in RL...

Lovely, well overdue a return. I don't think I know any young Agathas so it's not going to be a name you hear a lot in school either.

Not111 · 15/12/2019 14:48

Love it!!

LuckyMarmiteLover · 15/12/2019 14:48

Love it!

midsomermurderess · 15/12/2019 14:48

I think it's lovely. Well, maybe not lovely, it has a certain elegant austerity that appeals to me.

I do love an old lady name but I can’t get on board with Agatha. It doesn’t sound nice. And any shortening is awful too - Aggie, Aggs, Aggro, etc Grin

EllenRipley · 15/12/2019 14:46

Love it!

Peachbubble · 15/12/2019 14:44

I like it, and Agnes.

Poorolddaddypig · 15/12/2019 14:38

I also really want to like it but just can’t quite do it. The world isn’t ready for the comeback of either Agatha or Agnes imo

halcyondays · 15/12/2019 13:48

It’s awful, sorry.

Saharafordessert · 15/12/2019 13:47

Definitely no.

Everythingmagnolia · 15/12/2019 13:40

Really ugly

DotBall · 15/12/2019 13:06

Love it. Aggie for short.

smemorata · 15/12/2019 12:57

Love it.

Moraliee · 15/12/2019 12:56

Hideous sorry

Spied · 15/12/2019 12:39

I like it.
Classical.

roiseandjim · 15/12/2019 12:36

I like it!

hiptobeasquare · 15/12/2019 12:36

I love Agatha, it was on my short list for girls. We went with Anne in the end.

strawberry2017 · 15/12/2019 12:34

Reminds me of Miss Trunchbull from Matilda - not a fan sorry

Omashu · 15/12/2019 12:31

Ooh no aggie is an awful nickname! Reminds me of the word claggy which is awful and also ‘aggy’ is slang for aggravated/aggravating so I’d avoid that nickname. Agatha is an awful name in general to me but if you like it, go for it.

indigo13 · 15/12/2019 11:56

I like it, reminds me of the cute baby in Nanny McPhee

ADogInTheManger · 15/12/2019 11:36

It's an incredibly ugly name.
