Aggie is also the nickname for students and alumni of various land-grant colleges in the United States (from "agriculture"), most notably Texas A&M University.

The CHARACTER "Aggie" appears in the film "Madeline", which is WHY I rated the name the way I did! She was PARTIALLY mature in the fact that she TOLD Miss Clavel that Madeline had gone missing......AND partially IMMATURE in the fact that she TRICKED Miss Clavel into thinking that Madeline was on the bus!Also, for a VERY LONG TIME, I thought that MARA WILSON (who was in title role of the film "Matilda") was playing Aggie, BUT I EVENTUALLY noticed that the credits of the film said, 'Clare Thomas' who has NOT been in any "really famous" films. Just think, IF Mara Wilson HAD been acting in the film "Madeline", it WOULD`VE gained a HUGE amount of popularity and been REALLY famous ACROSS THE WORLD!ANOTHER interesting point to make is that the films "Madeline" and "Matilda" are VERY SIMILAR in the fact that they are BOTH about children who are trying to STOP their schools from being taken over by CERTAIN PEOPLE......by using SPECIAL POWERS! Lord Covington is the EQUIVALENT of Miss Trunchbull!
Aggie is a lovely nickname for Agnes. It wouldn't be good as a full name, but I like it for short. If I were to name my daughter Agnes, I would absolutely call her Aggie. It's a really spunky, cute name with loads of personality and fire behind it. Besides, I know a sweet girl who is Agnes and friends call her Aggie and she leaves a good impression on the name.
This name is too infantile to be used as a full name. Unfortunately, Agnes sounds ugly in English. I'd go for something else. If you must, name your daughter Agnes and call her Aggie. She will have certain credibility problems if she's a woman named Aggie.
