What are your thoughts on Agatha and Agnes. Maybe Aggie as a nn for either

Not keen on Agatha as it sounds harsh but I love Agnes. The 'nes' at the end softens it nicely and it's unusual. I knew an Agnes who was known as 'Nessa.'

Aggy means aggravated 😕 so that would be a no for me, I don’t like either name anyway

Not good I’m afraid. I’m a big fan of vintage names, even some quite clunky ones (DD has one that many people think is harsh-sounding) - but the Ag- sound in both of these is too much even for me.

Never met an Agatha, but the Agnes I knew at school ended up changing her name, which I think speaks for itself.

Awful and unfriendly names.

I want to love Agatha so much (big Agatha Christie fan!), but I just don't really like the harsh "ag" sound - so Agnes is also not for me, sorry.

Bear in mind that 'aggy' is what lots of people say as an abbreviation for aggravated ie 'he's being a bit aggy today'.

Don’t like Anges, hate Aggie, love Agatha.
