I've been really loving Agnes for a while now, but I suspect that it's one of those names that works better in the name nerd bubble than it does in the real world and that might it be hard to wear. I won't be having kids for a while, so maybe by the time I do that won't be the case, but I just wanted to get some insight from other people. So, what do you think of Agnes?
Also, do you like Aggie or maybe even Ness as a nickname, and do you think that they might make it a bit more wearable? And if you feel inclined to give any middle name suggestions please feel free.

I love Agnes, nn Aggie or Ness (or even Nessie!). But I'm a hopeless namenerd so I might not be the right person to ask.
Many times I've come across a name in real life that suddenly seems "usable." Agnes is known, so it wouldn't be that hard to pull off. Nns sweeten almost any sale. :-)
Agnes Meredith
Agnes Lenore / Eleanor
Agnes Joan
Agnes Myfanwy
Agnes Bronwen
Agnes Muriel
Agnes Johanna
Agnes Bernadette
Agnes Deborah
Agnes Miriam / Molly / Maureen
Agnes Calpurnia
Agnes Morwen / Morwenna
Agnes Mor
Agnes Bryony
Agnes Rowena
Agnes Lorna
Agnes Briallen (I'm loving the "g" and "b" sounds together)
Agnes Rebecca
Agnes Blaithin ("blah-HEEN") (= a chaste little flower)
Agnes Theodora
Agnes Catherine

It still isn't a name that I would use myself, but Agnes has grown on me, and I find Aggie to be a cute nickname. Agnes seems fresh these days. I've never met a child named Agnes.
Ness works as a nickname, but I think of Vanessa and Agnessa before I think of Agnes since I usually hear the -nes part of Agnes, which isn't emphasized, pronounced [nəs].

I love Agnes! At one point I would've considered using it, but found out DH doesn't like it so I gave up on that. But I still think it's really nice. It's cute, but still mature. I love Aggie as a nn, not a huge fan of Ness or Nessa. Mostly because Ness at least makes me think of the Earthbound character (or Elliot Ness), so it seems too masculine.
My favorite combos with it:
Agnes Amanda - one of my favorite combos ever
Agnes Emily
Agnes Fiona
Agnes Jemima
Agnes Marjorie
Agnes Marsaili
Agnes Michaela
Agnes Pascale - love this one too
