Agnes or Cecelia?

[Izzyathome]

Which do you prefer, Agnes Cecelia or Cecelia Agnes? (Sister to Margot as in previous post ).

Agnes sounds very dour to me.

ToDuk I know what you mean, I thought of The Vamps

Ooh, I like both. Probably Cecilia though.

I have an Agnes and so naturally I think it's a beautiful name (and not dour or harsh as suggested by pp). She's often Aggie for short. Less keen on Cecilia (either spelling).

Una ( oona) or can be spelled Oonagh is the lrish name for Agnes. Thought it would be nice with Margot

Not Agnes if pronounced the English way.

Cecelia, or for preference, Cecily.

Agnes, but I like both

I love both, but Cecilia just wins by a whisker.

Cecelia looks odd to my eyes (apologies if this is the usual spelling in your culture).

Oh, and I think they both go well with Margot.

This made me smile, these were the two names I decided between for my confirmation name about a million years ago!

I love Agnes, it's calm and firm and self assured to me. Cecelia/Cecilia is lovely but felt more fey and girly not womanly. I do prefer Cecily or Cecile.

I'd probably use Ness as a NN for Agnes rather than Aggie.

Agnes . I like it!

I prefer Cecily, which I love, to Agnes, but don't like Cecelia very much for some reason.

Yuk.both are horrid, sorry.

I don't like either I'm afraid. Cecelia is marginally better. I quite like Cecily as suggested by a couple of others.

Cecelia Agnes :)

the kids in Minions are Margot and Agnes aren't they?

Agnes!
