[Opinions] Celebrity BA: Agnes Lark Bettany
Actress Jennifer Connelly and actor husband Paul Bettany welcomed a daughter recently:Agnes LarkShe joins brothers Kai (13) (from Jennifer's previous relationship) and Stellan (7)WDYT? I am not a huge fan of Agnes as I find the sounds in it to be unpleasant but it is lovely to see on a new baby. Lark is also cool, especially in the mn position.
Edited to fix my shocking spelling

I love Agnes and I like Lark, except maybe not together. Agnes Bettany sounds really nice. I do like it more than Stellan and Kai, however.

I love them and I love the name as well! Agnes is very lovely and I think Lark adds a touch of spunk to it.

I love it!Lark I think is a bit weird, but I adore the name Agnes. It was my beloved great-grandmother's name and I would love to name my daughter that someday if I have one. However I don't think I would be able to convince my future husband to use it. Maybe I could convince him that Ines (Spanish/Portuguese version) was better.

I love it. I am fond of Agnes ever since friend of a friend called her daughter Ágnes. I know a lovely woman called Agnes too. Lark has been a favourite of mine for years. (I like Skylark for a mn too.)At first I thought Bettany was a second middle name and I didn't like it at all :P

I don't love Agnes, but Lark brightens it up quite a bit.

Finally, a celebrity, what a mind. Agnes is nice. It's old-fashioned and gorgeus name. Although I prefer Czech Anežka :-)

What a surprisingly jaunty little combo! I love Agnes for her old-world, unabashedly fusty charm, and I've been thinking a lot about Lark lately -- I like it for its evocation of the brilliant beginning of Mrs. Dalloway.

I think the combo is absolutely gorgeous. I can't really put my finger on it... Agnes is ok and a little boring (it's quite common here) and Lark is not very pretty.

Aww, that's sweet.

I like it. I thought that I really disliked Agnes as a name (I also find the sound unpleasant), but suddenly I find myself liking it a little more. It's appealing in it's own way, I guess, and it's interesting to see it on someone so young. I wouldn't be a fan of Lark as a first name but when placed it the middle it works fine. Lovely combo.It's certainly better than many other celebrity baby names. As for Jennifer's other children, I love Stellan but Kai is more of a female name to me (through association).

that is awesomeIn my opinion it is so much more beautiful than her brother's names. Way to go, Jennifer Connelly!

It's actually a nice combo so it lightens up the dated sound of Agnes. Well at least to me Agnes seems dated but to see it on someone little could refresh it up a bit.
