Personally I wouldn't want to be named Agatha (I guess you know a lot of people find it frankly ugly, as you admit it's polarizing) and have three elder sisters with fashionably-antique names that most people don't think are ugly.
Boy: Francis, Myron, Albert, Gilbert

Interestingly I have gotten quite a bit of pushback and skepticism on all of my kids’ names. Particularly (believe it or not) over the presence of “fred” in a female name. So it’s nice for a change to see the girls’ names described as “fashionable”! Your point on not wishing that name for yourself is well taken.
In our family we tend to go by our full names, so five syllables is a lot. My own namesake had that name as a middle, and I’m fairly certain its position as such was influenced by the multiple Swedish royals who also had it as a second name.
Valentina is an intriguing option on several levels. Haven’t given that one a lot of thought in recent years. Have a soft spot for Frances because I adore Fanny (staying in keeping I guess with my ill-advised instincts). Thanks!
