Thank you all so much!

I feel like Hester sounds like a character from The Addams Family (don't know why!)

My reservations and why I'm asking is because although I love Agnes, I don't want it to become Aggie and I think it will.

Do you think Maeve would be shortened to Mae? Just not a fan of names being shortened really 🙈.

Esther is the top of our list, Maeve second and Agnes third at the moment. Was just very curious to see what other people thought and it's proving very helpful! X

ooh i like them all, can't choose!

AdaColeman · 08/09/2020 12:09

Maeve

I also quite like Agnes, though not Aggie. What about Maude?

Flappingflamingo · 08/09/2020 12:09

Love maeve, if I were having anymore children it would be on my list

ButterflyOfFreedom · 08/09/2020 12:05

Esther.

Don't like the others.

Sarafive · 08/09/2020 12:04

Esther. Really don't like the others.

  2. Agnes
  3. Esther

Not really my cup of tea in general though

Fifthtimelucky · 08/09/2020 12:01

Agnes is the only one I like.

I particularly dislike Maeve. It's partly the pronunciation as it reminds me if someone I used to work with who was called Mavis, but Mave for short.

I was young at the time and it always seemed a very boring middle aged dumpy sort of name.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 08/09/2020 12:01

Maeve is my favourite.

I would worry about “Aggie” as a nickname for Agnes.. but if you don’t mind Aggie then it wouldn’t be a problem.

Maeve
Esther
Agnes

I prefer Hester to Esther.

@DoTheMaccaroni where I am it’s definitely rising, there’s suddenly loads where I didn’t know of any before. Only started hearing it this year though.

DoTheMaccaroni · 08/09/2020 08:33

@Oneandabean actually it isn’t rising! It’s dropped 40 places in 2 years.

Maeve

Maeve

Oneandabean · 08/09/2020 07:46

Esther was on our shortlist but took it off as it’s rising in popularity. I really like Maeve too but dp not keen. Can’t stand Agnes.

Esther- my favourite girl’s name!

FluffyEggsontoast · 08/09/2020 06:57

Agnes , sorry

FluffyEggsontoast · 08/09/2020 06:56

Maeve or Angus - lovely

AlwaysLatte · 08/09/2020 06:53

I'm so sorry, the autocorrect changed it! Maeve!
