[Opinions] Agnethe
Replies
Is it pronounced "ag-NET-uh?" If so, it's very pretty. "ah-NYET-uh?" Again, very nice, although my Russian training is telling me the "nyet" sound is a no-go. I could get over it, though.
I admit that I've always been a little wary of Agnethe. When I look at it I'm never quite sure if it's related to Agnes (which I know it is) or Agatha.
I love both Agnes and Agatha, so you'd think Agnethe would be a happy medium for me. But my brian is not that agile and the inner computer tilts a little.
Inez / Ines is by far my favorite variant of Agnes.

Agnès
I just can't appear to get myself attached to any form of the name, except fot the French pronunciation of Agnès, which might be plausible in DC to pull off, but I still don't like it enough (at this time).

Me too!
I adore the french prononciation, but I would never give it to my daughter unless I lived in France, because it would never be pronounced correctly.
(OT: I love the pic in your signature. Caillebotte is my favorite.)
