Names like Agatha

[soundsystem]

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?

I know sometimes first and last names don't go but you can appropriately double barrel them to make them go well. It isn't actually a new and low end thing like much of mumsnet protests but as more a traditional in some groups of society. It depend of the name and options you want to convey. Out children all have "proper" traditional strong names with more meaningful personal or special middle names. As babies you have no idea who or what your children might become...a courtroom judge or some extremely important serious official or could be something light hearted and casual. I believe it's very important they have the strong proper name in case it helps and use the cutesy ones for home etc
Beware what potential initials spell. If you want to PM me the names I can try to help with suggestions?
