Agatha is one of my absolute favorite names! Its sullen sophistication really tickles me.

I want to like it because of Agatha Christie. I just haven't found her in a combo that makes me love her though.

I like Agatha. I always thought it was an old lady name until I saw this movie called The Electric Grandmother when I was a kid-- the little girl's name is Agatha and the robot grandmother sings an "Agatha" song. After that it sounded really pretty. I like Aggie, too.

It took me a while, but I'm now in love with Agatha. I used to be put off by the "ag" sound. But I'm starting to prefer heavy "g" and "b" sounds in general. So Agatha is a nice change from the usual, sugary sounds in most popular names. Agnes and Aglaia too.

It all came to a head when I saw the first "Nanny McPhee" (sp?) movie. The baby was named Agatha. I adore seeing "old lady" names on babies / small children. Nn Aggie became the cutest thing I'd heard in a long time.

I have two quirky stock combos: Agatha Plum and Agatha Bluebell. I don't have a serious stock combo for it, though. If anyone has one, I'd love to hear it. :-D

I just can't get past the "Hag-atha" idea. It's not a bad name by any means, it's just my nature to find a quick pun in a name.

I like it too. It sounds pretty.

I love it!

it's pretty crunchy. I think it would take some doing to carry well. A friend of mine likes Agatha for a future daughter, so somehow that made it less storybook-haggy and more acceptable. The idea of a real-life Agatha. I hope she lets me call her Aggie.

I have a go-to combo of Agatha Phoebe. I think Phoebe brightens Aggie nicely.

Hagatha.

I'm sorry, but I always want to stick an "H" in the front of it, just because I think it is a hopelessly ugly name. Brrrr.

I fell in love with Agatha not too long ago. I didn't care for her at all up until I heard it on a young minor character on television. I love how 'English' it is. I suppose that's due to the association with Agatha Christie. =)

I don't really like Agatha. For some reason I associate it with wool. Agata is lighter and more graceful, almost balletic.
The Ag sound at the beginning is quite harsh too - I have the same problem with Agnes and Aglaia, although I prefer them both to Agatha.

I think it sounds like an old person name but I love it anyway.

I really like Agatha. Or used to. Then I heard someone pronounce it "Hag-atha" unintentionally... and well... :( That ruined it for me. :P

I like Agatha. It's lovely, old-fashioned, elegant and feminine. I dislike Aggie, though. Agda would be prettier nickname. But then, Agatha really doesn't need a nickname.

Agatha, yes. Aggie, however, a thousand times No. It's a beautifully 1930s name, demanding long evening dresses and elbow-length gloves.

I've always liked it. It's pretty adorable, but ages well and will feel mature on an adult. And I love the nn Aggie.

I like it! I could definitely see this on a dark haired little girl.
What combos do you like?
