My middle name is Agnes. I was named after my aunt who passed before i was born and the name is meaningful, beautiful, an inspiring just from hearing it.
My friend is named Agnes. She's nice and funny, and she's in my class. I hope some people don't do any thumbs down anymore.
that's my name & I'm OK with that, but It'sounds better in Spanish or French (Ines).
I happen'to know a lovely Agnes who is only 23 yrs! She is my grad program at uni. She is the hottest Agnes one can imagine. I no longer associate Agnes with "old lady."
My name is Agnes and I live in Seattle and everyone always thought my name was weird and old hah. But when I went to Sweden last year I'met sooooo many Agnes it was crazy
Well our little miracle Caden Bradaigh Kerr was born on 9-11-2015 just after his next older'sibling graduated from high school and 10 days after his oldest brother was married. We decided on'the name as it combined the names of my late mother Kay and late brother Dan.
I'm polish, my name is AGNIESZKA = AGNES, I didn't really like it I was called ASIA by my mom, but now I kinda like it,It's not that popular - and I like it like that (and I'm not an old lady -I'm 27)I like different names-my 27mo daughter name is Astrid:)
In some ways this name is ok, perhaps not so bad at all, but if you were naming your daughter this, think of how she would feel. It would be hard for a girl to feel beautiful while growing up with a name like 'agnes'. You could name a dog something like this; but not a child. the name has a old-fashioned and ugly side, too. why don't you go with the name 'august' or 'augustine' instead as a good alternative❤️ luv, Emy
Popular with Swedish parents at the present time but is considered old ladyish in most areas where English is spoken.
Reminds me of a lovely character in Charles Dickens book, David Copperfield. Agnes is the heroin. But the name is rather out of context for a child in 2019. I hope it comes back in.
If I were to have another little girl, she'll Agnes Victoria or Agnes Violet. I love this name and the fact that it is not on the charts makes its appeal to me even stronger.
I feel that It brings out the feminine side of me. It is a classic name. so classic, that everytime I get into trouble, my mother or my father will shout AGNES out loud. (Its my real name, they usually call my by my nickname.)....hahahaha
i LOVE this name, but It's my dad's ugly exes name..
There are too many aiden names... jaiden, aiden, caiden, hayden...
My mane is Agnes came from the name of St. Agnes. She was a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart.
It's an old ladies name, plain and simple. It's not such a bad name at all. I beli've It's of Spanish origin, like Ines (pronounced EE-nes).
agnes is a beautiful name i didnt like the name at first but now i luv the name it cool
I like my name Agnes, and I happen'to be an old lady.
Its okay i suppose, i can see the awful and old fashioned side of it, but in away its unique and pretty, i live near a village called St.Agnes and ive always like the name
My mother was Agnes, and as a youngster I did not like the name'she was named after her grandmother. I now think it a beautiful name. For those who think it old ladyish that time for you is not far off, it comes quicker than you think. To put it in perspective a 95 year old thinks an 80 year old is a youngster
It's an old lady name. Sounds like a 70 year old retired lunch lady.
Borne by American actress Agnes Moorehead of the TV series Bewitched (she played Endora). Though Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and American actress Elisabeth Shue have daughters named Agnes, I think that hardly anyone else is likely to copy them anytime soon, for I think that It's still a hideous name and more so than Lillian, Beatrice, and Dorothy (the first of the three is now popular again but the other two are currently unpopular - for now at least).
I was almost named Agnes and thankfully It's almost. I don't find the name beautiful because It'sounds close to "acne" and worse, "agnas" which in Filipino language means "to decompose" specifically a corpse. But if You're not sensitive to what a name'sounds like and you love classic unique names, you may like it.
When I was younger I could not picture myself with my Amber being older. However, I'm now approaching 30 and I can't see myself with any other name. I like it. It's unique. Not too many people have my name. Everyone, unless you are really unaware...can spell my name w/o help.
Still old ladyish, despite BrIt'sh supermodel Agyness Deyn (real name Laura Hollins), who chose a rather unusual spelling of her name. No offense, however, but the unusual spelling of what is otherwise meant for oldsters is even more stupid than the millions of little Madisons, Caitlins, Siennas, and Taylors out there. Would YOU name a child Agyness❤️ I wouldn't!
