Agatha or Mina

[iloveyoubutilovememore]

These are our final two, not sure how I feel about ‘Aggie’ as a n/n & OH suspects Mina could be called ‘meanie’ I know which one I like more but would love to hear thoughts & other recommendations :)

Neither are to my taste tbh.. Nina?

Mina every time.

Mina is a bit boring.
I LOVE AGatha Christie, I don't like the sound of Agatha as much as the name DD became but if I did i would have gone for it. I think it's quite cool.

I know a few Aggies who are short for Agnieszka which is beautiful. So Aggie is relatively popular (although these are all 40+ years olds)

I really like Mina

Mina is cute and underused compared to similar Nina. It also has a kind a sexy, romantic vibe for me because of the obvious Dracula links. I don’t think the “meaner” or “Meanie” thing would bother or worry me. For me the biggest bug bear might be people regularly mishearing it as “Nina?”

Agatha is a name I want to love because I adore Agatha Christie books but realistically it’s one of those retro hipster names (like Ethel) that imo you have to be pretty cool to pull off. For me, I think it might be easier to be a Mina than an Agatha.

Don't like Mina.

I don't like either name but then why would you care?

Don’t like either. Prefer Agnes

I knew a Meena and no one called her meanie. Go for Mina ❤️

I like both - I think there are always potential drawbacks to any name, you can't avoid them all. Menna is a name in our family. It's Welsh but also exists in Persian - might be an alternative to Mina if you wanted something similar but without the "E" sound.

I think I’d prefer to be called Mina (even though it sounds the same as Meaner in my non-rhetoric accent). It’s short, has a nice sound and is unusual but not “out there”.
Agatha feels a bit more of a statement of a name somehow, and Aggie is a word we sometimes use for someone getting stroppy, so it doesn’t sound nice to me.

Love, love, love Agatha! Nickname Taggie if you don’t like Aggie?

Mina. Agatha is an incredibly ugly name.

Mina. Agatha is such an ugly name.

Agatha

I love Agatha.

Mina is a bit twee.

Both awful, sorry

Prefer mina. They’re both very Dracula for me - Mina Harker in the original Dracula story, and Sister Agatha in a more recent 2020 tv Dracula :-)

Mina

Agatha has a very harsh sound. Mina is ok but more like a nickname than a real name.

Agatha!

Mina

I think Mina

Although as PP said prefer Agnes, Agatha gives me mean great aunt vibes!

Agatha is dreadful. Mina (Meaner) sounds rather ugly to me I'm afraid.
