If I call my baby this she will really dislike me wont she?

[UpJacobscreek]

Agnes ,I love it everyone else hates it .

[hellish]

Astrid?

[Clary]

I love Agnes.

It was DS2's name if he was a girl (which he wasn't,obv).

But then my DC have old-fashioned names that have been roundly abused on these boards in the past

I like Edith too

[amess]

I would give it her as a middle name or use her middle name until she is old enough to decide whether she hates you or not but then don't they all hate us at some stage

[UpJacobscreek]

Oh amess ,I like that idea and dp would probbaly agree to it as a middle name but what first name to go with it ?
Some names I like are Molly, Grace ,Eve/Evie,Emma.

[Nancy66]

I think it's a lovely name but i probably wouldn't be brave enough to use it.

I love old fashioned, 'old lady' names but Agnes is probably a wee bit too old granny

[1066andallthat]

I'm a Agnes and Agatha fan, too - so, are you going to use it?

[MyDaggerling]

I like it but agree is sounds a lot like Alice

[MockyCock]

i looooooooooooove it.

loooooooooooooove it

love custy.

[mustdripgore]

i love it

[mylittlescarypumpkin]

I think it's too similar to Alice, personally, but that would be my only objection. She'll grow into it, I think they always do.

[Littlefish]

I think it's lovely. I know a two year old Angnes.

[maretta]

I like it.

[annasmami]

I like it too. Its a classic feminine name.

[lunamoon2]

Oh I love it. I wanted to use as my dds middle name but that was a very long time ago and my other half vetoed it. I think it is becoming very hip at the moment, especially if you pronounce it as the French do.

Whatever name you choose someone will always hate it and tell you so!!!!

Go for it

I am meeting a very good friend called Agnes tonight. She is hungarian, and Agi for short. I assume it's pronunced slightly differently in hungary but I'm not sure.

[PoppyCock]

it's my mother's name. she haaaaaaaates it. she really does.

[nooOOOoonki]

sorry I think it is really ugly.

[AbbeyA]

It's an ugly name-don't do it!

[Buckets]

I love it. And Agatha too.

[mynameisluka]

I love this name. I was just thinking about it a couple of days ago and wishing I had a use for it!!

[Joeymac]

now I'm only a bit scottish but live in Scotland - maybe a true scot would be able to tell you a bit more about it but girls here called Agnes often call themselves 'Senga' as they feel it's more modern than Agnes which was seen as bit old fashioned (but I know the old names are back in so things may have moved on). Trouble is that people also tell me being called Senga is a bit chavvy - maybe turning your name round is a chav thing to do - who knows? Saying that I know a lovely 36 year old Senga and she is far from Chavvy - very refined and she did it. If you don't live in Scotland this is probs totally irrelevent.

agatha

[Heated]

Too similar to Alice imo.

Eliza, Edith, Clara, Elspeth, Sylvie, Thea, Mabel, Flora, Eve, Nora, Beatrice....?

[AmBOO]

I think she might...
