Agnes

mrsb_IN

Agnes has always been a guilty pleasure name for me. It has the vintage charm that I adore (which is why I love Margot and Ingrid so much), and Aggie is adorable. Am I crazy to like this name? Does anyone else see the appeal?

I'm not on board with Agnes but I DO like Ingrid and Margot

KtB0605

I really like it, mostly because it's a family name. I also seem to really like the more vintage/ "old lady" names out there.

I'm ok with agnes... margot and ingrid aren't doing much for me

I *love* old lady names, but Agnes isn't one of my favorites.  It's a fine name, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

I like Margot, neutral on Ingrid, definitely do not like Agnes.  And I don't find Aggie adorable.

This.

I love Agnes.

I'm reminded of the movie Despicable Me; the three little girls are Margot, Edith, and Agnes. None of them are my style, they're just too old lady. I like some old lady names but these ones are just too harsh for me.

An Aggie is the mascot of Texas A&M.

It's my gma's name. I'd totally use it.

I really don't like Agnes at all. Or Ingrid. Margot is not bad though.

I can get behind Agnes, but I really hate the sound of Aggie.  It's just so

I totally love Agnes and wish DH would too!! lol ?I also love Margot (DH doesn't like that one either!). ?You are not crazy! ?:-)

I actually find it rather pretty.

It has kind of an old-lady sound just by itself, but if it were actually a child's name, I don't think it would sound strange at all. I approve!

Just last weekend I met a little girl, younger than DS, who the parents called "Aggie".  It really made me go "blech".  She's adorable, but the name just is not.  It did not fit her at ALL.

I love the name Agnes.  If it went with our LN, I would definitely have it on our list.  I knew a girl named Agnes B----n and it worked really well.

I like Margot a lot and think it's a really pretty name.  Ingrid I think is hard to pull off unless you're of Scandinavian descent (or at least fair).

I do like Agnes, but I love Margot and Ingrid. And yes, Aggie is an adorable nn for a little girl. So cute.

StefandTodd

I LOVE Agnes.  It is my favorite girl's name.  My H has vetoed it.  And my best friend is like, "Really?  Please fortheloveofgod do not name your child Agnes, ugh."  But, I still love it.

I'm gonna be jealous the first time I meet someone with an Agnes.  Stupid baby-daddy veto rights.

I think  it is horrible for a little girl

I like Agnes, but not Aggie.

ENI36

Sorry, I think it's awful.  I can only picture an old lady.

LoCarb

I think old lady and have a tough time finding it to be cute on a toddler.  Aggie reminds me of Tx A & M

JENVALENTINE1981

I do not like Agnes or Ingrid...our daughter's name is Emma, which is classic and vintage too, I never thought I would like it but now I love it.  Margot is okay though, how do you pronounce it? Mar-goe?

jeshapiro

I don't like this name at all.

joanithegreat

Ever since I saw Despicable Me, Agnes has been a guilty pleasure name for me.  I love it.

Love Margot, Agnes and Ingrid are NMS.

This!  But I hate the nickname Aggie.

I am a fan of "old lady" names but Agnes would be at the very bottom of the list.

emsumm

I strongly dislike this name.  I would even go so far as to say that I would rather my kid have an uber trendy name than be named Agnes. 

Ivana_Stolichnaya

Not a fan of Agnes....or Aggie.  It sounds like an elderly woman's name...not a little girl's.

I really like Agnes! I have it on my list: it was my gr g-ma's name, it is a saint's name, it is not popular which I prefer since we have a supper common LN.

jupiterthecat

I love me some old lady names, but I can't divorce Agnes from Mrs. Skinner:

 

teachergal05

It is my grandmother's name so I would consider using it, but probably as a mn. Of course, I'm kind of a big fan of older/family names.

cvillecouple

Definitely an 85 year old ladies name.  I like Ingrid, I know someone my age named Margot, so could probably get behind that too, but definitely not Agnes.

irishdo

I named my daughter Agnes.  It was my grandmother's name and the name really grew on me.  Unfortunately, she and her twin were born at 24 weeks and she passed away at 3 days of life.  So now the name has an even more special place in my heart.  We were going to call her Nessa as a nickname but I like Agnes by itself as well.

lkwelter

Not a fan of Agnes but Ingrid is cute.

stahlop

I used to hate this name, but it's grown on me.  There was a little baby in my breast feeding support group with this name.  I prefer the nn Nessie over Aggie.
