Re: Agnes, Magnus, Ingrid and Gilbert.
in reply to a message by Caroline
Agnes and Magnus are too much in one sibset.
Agnes: Lovely, rarely used.
Magnus: I don't like it. Personally, it reminds me of the name of a condom. There are a few of these Magnus' popping up around the globe though (no pun intended!)
Do you prefer Agnes or Agatha?: I think both are equally nice.
Ingrid: I LOVE Ingrid. I have liked it since I was about 7 years old and it just grows on me. I know that my future husband will shoot it down though and say it is ugly. Most people do.
Gilbert: LOVE it in an Anne of Green Gables sense and I like the Whats Eating Gilbert Grape association, but many people think this name is too odd. I am still wondering why. I really like the nn Gil, but I don't care for Gilly.
