[Opinions] Re: Agatha
in reply to a message by RegalAmethyst
I see Agatha becoming more popular, but not as much as Lillian.
Lillian is benefitting from Lily's extraordinary popularity. Plus, the "L" sounds are easy on the ear for most people, at least here in the U.S. Names with a hard "g" sound in them, however, have a harder time rising in popularity.
Personally, I prefer the meat and potatoes, earthy goodness of a hard "g" sound. And once I saw "Nanny McPhee" and baby Agatha / Aggie I was sold on the name.
My stock combination is Agatha Bluebell because I want to break out of the Agatha-is-so-serious staightjacket I'm in.
I hope I'm wrong and Agatha becomes a lot more popular. Perhaps it wil do better in the U.K. :-)
