Which middle name goes best with Agnes?

[Taggys]

Hello all!
Looking for a middle name for Agnes and was wondering what the general public thinks of these:

Agnes Elsa
Agnes Elsie
Agnes Essie
Agnes Élise / Elise
Agnes Elyse
Agnes Elvira

As you can see from the poll I have a thing for names that start with an E 😜

Other names we like are:

Agnes Iris
Agnes Lovisa
Agnes Vilhelmina

Or can you think of names that you think we would like...

TY!😍

I like these three two , as well as your E suggestions: I voted Elise because i think Agnes calls for something very soft and pretty to contrast.

Love the name Agnes. I have many in my family tree.
Agnes Ethel
Agnes Edna
Agnes Edith
Agnes Eliza

Non e names:
Agnes Florence or Florrie
Agnes Wilma
Agnes Beatrice
Agnes Alma
Agnes Flora
Agnes Louisa
Agnes Ada

Agnes is a truly awful name. Please don't make your child be called this.

My relative was called Agnes Leontine. She was a countess ☺️

@CitizenZno it’s not… especially NN Aggie is cute

I’m surprised at all the hate for Agnes. I think it’s lovely. I agree with the poster above about having a 4 syllable middle name - it has a better rhythm than 2-2.

I voted Elise of your names. I prefer it to the others anyway, but also if you do go with a 2-syllable surname, it sounds better where the the emphasis is different:
AGnes eLISE rather than AGnes ELsa

Have you got any other ideas to help with suggestions, like a theme or something?

That was brave OP you should know that Agnes doesn’t meet the narrow- minded mumsnet standard on here. Once you step outside the UK shores and look back in you see what a weird attitude people have about names. Aside from the fact you didn’t actually ask anyone’s opinion the actual name. Just raise your daughter to have a more open and positive attitude than ridiculous and vitriolic pp of the women on here and she will be good!

All the names sound lovely. I’m not sure if there is a scandi heritage there so that may sway your middle name but Agnes Elise goes well.

Best of luck with beautiful Agnes and no doubt will rock the world when she arrives.

People can be so rude! The OP has not asked for opinions on Agnes. If you don’t like the name you can just move on, no need for nastiness. Life would be so boring if we all like the same things.

Personally, I think Agnes is really pretty. I love it’s meaning too.

From your list OP I like:
Agnes Elyse
Agnes Elvira
Agnes Lovisa

I would also suggest,
Agnes Elsinore
Agnes Eleonora
Agnes Ellora
Agnes Elva

I don’t like it either but these type of names are coming back in fashion e.g Enid, Ethal, Maud…

Totally agree the rhythm thing as described in this post.

I think Agnes Elise works.

Oh dear god that’s a hideous name. I know 2 Agnes’ and they hate their name, one has adopted her middle name instead. My Sil wanted to call my niece Agnes and it caused frictions as my brother said over his dead body was his daughter going to be known as ‘Aggie’. Thankfully she came to her senses and didn’t saddle to poor child with it.

Keep your rude opinions to yourself. I happen to love the name Agnes, it’s very pretty.

If you can’t find something nice to say, shut the fuck up.

Yes I agree, op has only asked for opinions on the second name.

I don't actually find Agnes as bad as many of the others on the "old lady revival bag" such as Maud, Nancy. Ethel or Margot. But people are liking them.

Eliana
Francesca
Eynor
Elspeth

Perhaps you should take your own advice and stfu as telling people to do so certainly isn’t saying something nice. This is a baby name forum. If someone asks for opinions on any aspect of a name then they’re going to get them and your opinion that it’s a lovely name is no more valid(and no less valid) than the opinion of the posters who like me, dislike it.

I do agree with the posters who said that the French pronunciation is much nicer.

I like Agnes - it was on our list for DD. Lots of them here in Cornwall after St Agnes. I would go for a middle name starting with a consonant though - don’t think yours flow well.

We were thinking of Agnes Lowenna (a Cornish name).
Alternatively - Rose, Charlotte, Jennifer, Lucy, Louisa, Jasmine, Clara

Yes. They are from my grandmother ‘s era. Ie would be over 100 now. Guess not the same connotation for younger people.

Agnes Genevieve
Agnes Miriel
Agnes Elodie

I immediately though Agnes Olivia

Its quite pretty but also quite a lot of soft palate vowels.

Agnes is a beautiful name!

I immediately thought Agnes Elizabeth

The only name that goes well with Agnes or dare I say it Aggie is Rose, Agnes Rose and I think you'd need to speak the full name...to avoid Aggie

I voted for "It doesn't matter".

Does anyone ever use, or know, your middle name OP?

I like that.
