need help - baby coming

[readerholic]

DH is French and we have quite different ideas re names for DD. she is coming tmr and so need all the help we can get. I love unusual names and have an arabic background - he wants something long that has a short version.
Agnes, Ines, Amalia, Leila, Lola or Josephine are the only ones we both don't hate but we are not really sure on any...

Thoughts welcome...

Oh, and Congratulations :) :)

Letitia or Tamara.

Congratulations!
Agnes is a very pretty name both in English and French: definitely a good choice!
I am from a French/Polish background and my sister is called Agnieszka, nickname Aga (regular nn in Poland), if you are still looking for an alternative nn. I like Aggie too even though I can confirm we are not big fans of nicknames. Nessie I agree makes me think of the Loch Ness monster.

Congratulations!! I like both names. Ester and Orla are other similar names.

Well vowel names I mean!

I like both :D Inessa is a bit more unusual/feminine. Congratulations!

Anyes is a better pronounciation than Agnes.
Congratulations!

What about Anya?
