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].
