Agatha and Agnes

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Agatha and Agnes. Maybe Aggie as a nn for either

Ada?

Ag names sound harsh in English.

With Agnes and Agatha the following syllable(s) are also blunt and dull sounding.

French pron of Agnes is nice as is the French pron of Agathe as a pp mentioned.

I think the Greek name Agathi is ok too because the stress is on the second ‘a’ and the Ag sound is less emphasised.

I love Agatha and if I had another baby girl, that would be her name.
Love Aggie, quite like Agnes.
I knew an Aggie whose full name was Adrienne btw.

Love both, but the I'm really not a fan of vowel heavy/E/L heavy names for girls.

I love the G sound and othe hard vowels for girls and love Greta, Gretel, Odette, Dorothy, Maud, Audrey. All elegant and strong.

Love both

I quite like both but I will admit I used to think Agnes was boring and plain as a name when I was a teenager.

I have a few women named Agnes in my family but they are/were almost universally known as Nancy, which is the traditional nickname for Agnes is you don't want to use Aggie.

Agatha puts me in mind of Agatha Christie.

Although at the moment both names remind me of Wandavision

I have an Agatha who is an Aggie or an Ags. If she isn't paying attention she gets a sharp AGNES! to get her attention.

She came out an Agatha and I can't imagine her being anything different. I did trial a few other names when she was born but I think you know when their name is the right one!

Love them both, and Aggie (we had a cat called Aggie, named after my aunt).
