I like it pronounced the French way but would that be pretentious?. Annyes. I think AGGnuss is dreadful.

Its dd1 middle name after my nan who died around the time she was conceived.

Sorry don't like Agnes but I find Agatha softer

LittleNoona · 21/06/2013 22:33

Love Agnes, not sure about Ramona

AdiosMuffinTop · 21/06/2013 22:34

Ramona is a bit 'cross my palm with silver' for me. I like romy though.

LittleNoona · 21/06/2013 22:34

Agnes goes beautifully with Martha and Greta actually, Ramona doesn't

What about juniper agnes? Agnes is so hard sounding and not nearly so nice as your other girls names. juniper is lovely though

Love Ramona! To my ears Agnes is quite harsh but I adore Inés (the Spanish/Portuguese version) and Inez (the Americanized version of the Spanish/Portuguese version Smile)

I love Agnes.

Not many people I know agree tho.

TheReverseStitch · 22/06/2013 23:07

LOVE it, wasn't allowed it though Sad

GwendolineMaryLacey · 22/06/2013 23:43

I like it. But I have a youngish family member with the name so it's never seemed an old lady name to me.

plieadianpony · 22/06/2013 23:47

Yes. Definitely!!

sundanceclaire · 23/06/2013 03:37

Dislike Agnes it's grey, drab and too old lady. Martha and Greta are older names but still nice. Ramona is lovely.

Daphne?

Love Agnes. A lot of people will associate it with Despicable Me but its a brilliant name Smile

Reastie · 23/06/2013 06:30

I love it! Love the other choices for your other DC too.

AgathaPinchBottom · 23/06/2013 06:33

Agnes is beautiful, elegant and graceful - goes perfectly with your other two. Excellent choice.

Love Ramona.
Really dislike English pronunciation of Agnes.

How about:
Iris
Connie
Astrid
Ada

dyslexicdespot · 24/06/2013 22:25

I love Agnes, it is classic and beautiful.

MrsBungle · 24/06/2013 22:35

I really dislike Agnes. It's so harsh sounding. Ramona is nicer. Agatha is lovely.
