Agatha?

[llamallama88]

If a girl, what do you think of the name Agatha? Is it too old-fashioned? 'Her' brother is called Charles.

I prefer Agathe.

How about Agate, which is related to Agatha but also has another meaning of a semiprecious stone? Or Agata, which is the Italian and Spanish form of Agatha?

I love it!

my friend has a 12 yr old called agatha, i really like it now, but initially i was unsure

she also has a rosie and an olive, both of which i also like

Ah, I've loved Agatha for years. It's so pretty if you get over the old lady maiden aunt knee jerk thing and reapproach it as a name in its own right.

I love it but DH thinks it's still too 'dusty'. He also says it's still too connected with Agatha Christie. Really? Sharing a name with the best selling author of books of all time is a problem?!

I think it's on its way back. I've come across two little Agathas this year.

Agatha is Greek (ancient, at least - I don't know modern Greek) for noble. Would be agathos to describe a boy, so agatha describes a girl. Like it very much but fear it's a bit spiky for a tot.

i think Agatha is lovely but the nn Aggie mages me think 'Eggy'
