It's hard to find both in one name. Personally, I'd give up a little orginality for a smidgen of tradition and history.

Agata / Agatha is not too much an "original" name, it's old and not used very much in North America.

Yeah, you're right Agata.....Just because a name is unusual or uncommon, doesn't mean it has no history. Seems to me your name has the best of both worlds!
