[Opinions] Agnes

Today's name of the day is Agnes. WDYT?

Personally, I have never seen the appeal of Agnes. I know the similar Agatha has gotten some love of these boards, but I've never been keen on that name, either - although I do think I prefer it to Agnes. Either way, it's the Ag- sound. I just cannot make myself like it.

I find it frumpy and boring, it's a laundry maid kind of name.

Love it. It’s my middle name and I love that it’s unusual as a middle name for my age group (1980s). I was give the name after my grand aunt who died two years before I was born at the age of just 58.

I like Agatha but don’t love it and if used it would be a middle name.

I taught a young Agnes once. It felt odd calling her a name that just sounded so old. It just didn't suit her at all.

I do like Agnessa though.

I like Agnes, it’s a family name for me. I don’t like Agatha, though.

I prefer the French pronunciation.

It's ok. I prefer Agatha. I know there is a saint Agnes... that's about it.

I agree, I'm not a fan of the "ag" sound. Also, hearing Agnes makes me think of the comic.

I think Agnes is very sweet, I like it. Agatha doesn’t hold the same appeal for me, it’s the sound I don’t really like.
