What do you think of Agatha? I really like it, but I think I would only use it as a middle name.

Love it

Agatha is one of those names I'd love to see come back. Agatha Christie, of course, springs to mind. But more than that, Agatha sounds like a name of a great lady, one with courage and great leadership qualities. I'd be tickled pink to be introduced to a little Agatha.

P.S. After reading other comments, I have to say I don't understand this "old lady" objection. I understand that the name is more common on woman of an advanced age, but what's wrong with that? Old ladies are the coolest people on this Earth. Besides, who could meet a newborn Agatha and think, "old lady"? The juxtaposition of a baby with an "old" name is charming!

Sorry to rant. But this is a pet peeve of mine. The world could use a few more Agathas.

personally, I really really dislike it! i know a woman whose kids names are Simon, Trinity, and Elizabeth. She was about to name Elizabeth Agatha, and a lot of people disliked it also.

It's okay, but too old. Agathe is nice.

I really dislike it. It sounds very harsh and reminds me of old ladies.

Its sounds like an old lady's name to me. But I'm no judge of things like that. I think it is still a pretty name an old lady or not. I prefer Agathe (with no a)

I like it, but I'd probably never use it. It's very uncommon where I live, which is a bonus. It's also the name of my favorite mystery author, Agatha Christie.

I also like Agata and Agathe.

I started liking it after I read Agatha Christie's books, actually.

I dislike this name very much. It seems so harsh and ugly. I do like Aggie though.

That amuses me because I really dislike Aggie.
