Agatha as baby name ?

[Studentnurse1981]

Just that.

Awful.

I think it sounds like a witch’s name

It’s a saint’s name.

I love it! Not a fan if Aggie as a nn, don’t let people shorten it

I know I posted earlier but why would you ask on here Op ....I'm a thinking deep down you ain't too sure yourself?
Go with your gut . ....sometimes they just suit a name :-) x

Like it... I like harsh (?Germanic) sounding names and we're using Agnes as a middle name for our baby (due) but shortening to Aggy puts me off using either as a first name.

Lots of people will hate it, but personally I hate the name Olivia which is the most popular baby girl name of the moment. We're all different. I think Agatha is a strong girls name after a real literary icon.

I love Agatha and Agnes. Shame DH won't entertain either. Beautiful names.

Love it
But would encourage ‘Taggie’ instead of ‘Aggie’ for nn

I like it, I’m s fan of non-frilly names. I also like:

Maggie
Anya
Greta
Gwen
Erin
Margot

Love it

No. For my generation, it's a joke name that you'd give to a battleaxe of a woman. Aggie makes me think of 'gag', 'gagging'.

I love it.

My first serious boyfriend now has a daughter called Agatha. It’s one of many reasons I’m glad we didn’t last.

Yuck

Really really really LOVE it!!!

I do like it - cant not associate it with Taggie a la Jilly Cooper but that's not a bad thing - love her character!

I love it, agree with pp that I would encourage Taggie as a nn rather than Aggie.

Dreadful.

No way would I be letting my 8 year old son go into men's changing alone! You must be extremely naive if you think your situation constitutes the biggest risk, OP!

Aaaaaaand clearly I have the wrong thread!

Love it! Isn’t even the baby/ old lady in the Nanny McPhee films?

One of the ugliest names out there imo.

It just sounds Swedish to me. And ugly

@notgivingin78910
The name reminds me of a character in Matilda....forgot who.

Er, just a shot in the dark but was it Agatha by any chance?

I love it!
