I like Agatha much more than Agnes; unfortunately it sounds really unappealing in Afrikaans, ah-XAH-tah, and a lot of people would assume that was what we intended.
Mary, like John, can be used freely now, I think; after being the top names for centuries, they are now perfectly possible and pleasingly retro. We used it instead of Maria for our daughter's second mn. It worked better in length and rhythm.
Clarissa isn't bad, I think I prefer it to Clara, but I'd use Clare rather than either of them.
