Hello all!
Looking for a middle name for Agnes and was wondering what the general public thinks of these:

Agnes Elsa
Agnes Elsie
Agnes Essie
Agnes Élise / Elise
Agnes Elyse
Agnes Elvira

As you can see from the poll I have a thing for names that start with an E 😜

Other names we like are:

Agnes Iris
Agnes Lovisa
Agnes Vilhelmina

Or can you think of names that you think we would like...

TY!😍

sorry but I don't think any of them work! There's too many e and s sounds in most of those names to go with Agnes. Nice names but they just don't work together.

Agnes is very pretty and not common.

I like Agnes Jane, Agnes Mary and Agnes Elizabeth.

I like these.
If you are set on an E name, then Eliz(s)abeth is nice because it has 4 syllables to balance out the 1st name and (more importantly for sound) the stress isn't on the 1st syllable.
Most of the names suggested sound too 'S-y' (pronounced 'essie', it's a made up word!!) to follow on from a 1st name ending in S.

Are there any alternatives to Agnes? It’s such an ugly and harsh sounding name. I can’t imagine inflicting it upon a newborn as a first name.

Anything that she can use instead of Agnes, as it's an awful name.

I disagree, its a lovely name.
