Names like Agatha

DH and I are struggling to find a name we love for DC3, and at the stage where we feel like we've considered and discounted every name in existence.

The name we most liked has been Agatha, however we just can't do it with our surname. Like, definitely just can't. Agnes is out as has been used recently by a friend.

Can anyone suggest anything with a similar vibe that we might not have thought of?

Aurelia is a good shout! Pronounce Oh-Ray-lee-uh, means golden and it’s bloody lovely too x
