It’s very... extra.

Agatha Veronica would be nice I guess, Agatha Annica. Sounds like the name of some building. Going to see my favorite band at the Agathonica!

It sounds like what a group of old ladies would name their Metal band. Metallica. Apocalyptica. Agathonica. Quite the lineup.

Sounds like the weighty and obscure name that could only fit some long forgotten Greek orthodox saint. I like Agatha, though.

When the first platypus - dead and stuffed, of course - appeared in England, distinguished scientists spent long hours trying to find out how it had been constructed, where the fake bits had been attached, etc; which they couldn't, because it really was a pouched mammal, amphibious and with a beak. One can understand their bewilderment: platypuses do look as if they've been put together using left-overs. And that is exactly what Agathonica seems like to me. Too complicated, too ludicrous to be true.

it sounds like a disease ...

A very painful disease, perhaps.
