HelpRe: Agnes
in reply to a message by ADT
Names, especially female names, go in and out of fashion. I guess people in English-speaking countries find it an "old lady" name.
In Sweden, it has been popular for at least 20 years. So we picture a young girl when we hear this name.
I like Agnes but I like Agnessa even more. Annis is pretty too. Ines or Inez is another variation I love.
I must add that I only like Agnes pronounced the Swedish way (UNG-ness). The English pronounciation (AGG-nes) sounds a bit harsh imo.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
