[Opinions] Love it (m)
in reply to a message by Eliza
Agatha is one of those names I'd love to see come back. Agatha Christie, of course, springs to mind. But more than that, Agatha sounds like a name of a great lady, one with courage and great leadership qualities. I'd be tickled pink to be introduced to a little Agatha.
P.S. After reading other comments, I have to say I don't understand this "old lady" objection. I understand that the name is more common on woman of an advanced age, but what's wrong with that? Old ladies are the coolest people on this Earth. Besides, who could meet a newborn Agatha and think, "old lady"? The juxtaposition of a baby with an "old" name is charming!
Sorry to rant. But this is a pet peeve of mine. The world could use a few more Agathas.
