yes

FimboGotAxed · 25/10/2008 10:31

It's kind of cool at the moment. Will it be the same in 10 years time? Who knows.

How about Esme?

ninedragons · 25/10/2008 10:36

Esme is way better than Agnes.

VinegArghhhWasStabbedInTheTits · 25/10/2008 10:38

Its not that bad, in fact i would say it is just as nice as Esme, its just a matter of opinion, call her what you want

NotQuiteCockney · 25/10/2008 10:41

Agnes is a great name. I know a four-year-old called it.

VinegArghhhWasStabbedInTheTits · 25/10/2008 10:42

Its actually growing on me the more i say it, i think its quite cool tbh

LynetteScavo · 25/10/2008 10:46

It sounds georgous in French.

If you love it, use it.

swiftyknickers · 25/10/2008 10:48

i love it
aggie

LynetteScavo · 25/10/2008 10:49

I love it too, reckon it could be making a comeback.
Go for it!

UpJacobscreek · 25/10/2008 10:50

I just need to convince dp do you think it goes well with Alice and Lucy?

If you are French and would pronounce it accordingly then yes.

I am getting the feeling you are't though... in which case... NO

Liffey · 25/10/2008 11:38

How is it pronounced in French? AnnYAY?

I like that. But AGGnuss is disgusting

Liffey · 25/10/2008 11:39

I don't think it goes with Alice and Lucy.

Edith/Edie is much prettier and more of a middle ground and less scary than Agnes.

jimjamshaslefttheyurt · 25/10/2008 11:39

I like Agnes

MarkStretch · 25/10/2008 11:39

Oh I love it. But I love Agatha too and everyone hates that

FiveGoMadInDorset · 25/10/2008 11:42

It is what DS would have been if he was a girl, DD is Edith

girlandboy · 25/10/2008 11:44

I like Agnes, but I don't like any abbreviation of it.

Aggie
Ag

cuppachar · 25/10/2008 11:45

In French it's pronounced Ann-Yess which is lovely.

MrsMattie · 25/10/2008 12:15

Please, no.

ChloeandAlfie · 25/10/2008 12:18

Umm... sorry, but no. I think it's the 'ag' sound. It sounds like someone gagging....

PuppyMonkey · 25/10/2008 12:21

I like Agnes because I am reading The Madness of a Seduced Woman...

p.s I've already got an Esme too...

slummymummytobe · 25/10/2008 12:40

I think Agnes is beautiful - it was my lovely grandma's name and I will definitely be using it if I have a girl

Inghouls2 · 25/10/2008 12:42

well it's a marmite name, but if you love it, go for it

Romy7 · 25/10/2008 12:45

agnes is very pretty, but sounds too much like alice. you'd be yelling one and getting both or neither every time.
