原文: I actually love this name, even the English pronunciation. I prefer it to my actual name (even when I told my mom and she said "But you already have an old lady's name!")
原文: Agnes Lum is an American gravure idol, singer, actress, and bikini model popular in Japan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time, she was nicknamed "Lum-chan" in Japan, though now that nickname can be confused with that of the fictional character Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura. Lum was the inspiration for the name of this character as she was well-known at the time the manga was first released (1977). In order to avoid confusion with Agnes Chan, another popular idol at the time, "Lum-chan" was used, though many fans called both "Agnes". Lum has appeared in numerous calendars, on posters, and magazine spreads, and these items regularly fetch high prices in the collectors market.
原文: Agnes is an extremely pretty girl's name. Not too common anymore, and I do not understand why! Some people are biased... but I think it has a great sound. Goes great as a middle name and with other personal names. For example, "Mary Agnes, Cecilia Agnes, and Rose Agnes", etc...
原文: I have had the honor of being named Agnes by my father, who wanted uniqueness in the names of his daughters and giving us girls the same middle name. (uniqueness and unity)Who knew that this name would be a blessing to me! Wherever I travel across the globe, the name helps me make connections.For example, in Spain, Latin America and France... I am Ines, In Italy... Agnese. I am traveling to Wales, I wonder what my name will bring up? Makes me feel cosmopolitan when I hear my name in different accents.It is not glamorous, dramatic or popular. It is not for everyone, yet if you embrace uniqueness... this is the one to pass on.
原文: I think this name is really pretty. I'd use it. It reminds me of the character Miss Marple for some reason (character's first name Jane). She was clever and stylish. I think this name is ready to be resurrected from old lady to cute, cool, clever little girl.

翻译文: 在希腊文中似乎是希腊人借来的,因为希腊名字“Αγνη(Hagne)”的拉丁文形式来源于希腊语“Á”(hagnos),意思是“贞洁”,并不解释意义。在希伯来语“哈根等”(Hellenised es )意思是“花园是这个”,花园是伊甸园,否则被称为PaRDeS(“天堂”)。希腊借款中“贞节”的意思随之变得明显,因为除了亚当在“原罪”之后亚当被流放的伊甸园之外,因为夏娃没有设想,意思是在花园她是“贞洁的”,即处女,在古希腊文化中,处女的定义不同。
原文: It seems to me this is a Greek borrowing from Hebrew because Latinized form of the Greek name ‘Αγνη (Hagne), derived from Greek ‘αγνος (hagnos) meaning "chaste" does not explain meaning.In Hebrew "HaGan et" (Hellenised es) means "The Garden [is] this", The Garden being The Garden of Eden, otherwise known as PaRDeS ('Paradise'). The meaning of "chaste" in Greek borrowing then becomes obvious because Eve did not conceive until after she and Adam were exiled from The Garden of Eden after the 'original sin', meaning in The Garden she was "chaste", i.e. a virgin, virginity being defined differently in the ancient Greek culture.

翻译文: 我喜欢这个可爱的老式名字!而且像爱丽丝和夏洛特一样不受欢迎。
原文: I love this cute, vintage name! And it is not popular like Alice and Charlotte.
原文: We called our daughter Agnes. We wanted a name that's distinctive yet familiar & a name that works internationally and isn't too hard to spell. Yes, it was a bit of a leap of faith as it did grate slightly on the ear to begin with. But it works & people love it. It's a strong name & the shortened versions (Ags, Aggy, Taggy) are all fab.
原文: I think it's a sweet, underused name which deserves a revival. Not a "yuck" name as others have mentioned. It's a strong name that is charming on a little girl and lasts a lifetime.

原文: I really like this name for a little girl. My husband vetoed it, and said it sounds like "haggis", the big meanie.
原文: My name is Agnes and I love it. I usually get comments about it whether it's "That's a nice name" or "You don't hear that name very often".So I love my name and wouldn't change it. :)

翻译文: 我认为这是一个强大,惊人的名字,女孩有。 :)
原文: I think this is a strong, amazing name for girl to have. :)
原文: I think this is such a beautiful name: clunky cool. The nickname Aggie is my favourite, but Nessie is very sweet too. I certainly think it can work wonderfully nowadays, especially after that spunky little Agnes on Despicable Me.
原文: My middle name is Agnes and although I've always hated it, I recently fell in love with the French pronunciation, "ahn-YES" to me this sounds so elegant & beautiful, I no longer dread the day that I'll have to decide whether to carry on my family's tradition of having Agnes somewhere in the first daughter's name. I might even make it her first name now that I've learned such a beautiful pronunciation!
原文: Perfect name for a Catholic nun, due to the meaning, history, and the harshness of the way it sounds. I can't think of a better name to suit a nun.

原文: This name was used on a hurricane which flooded eastern Pennsylvania in June 1972. Official damage estimates were about $3 billion, although recently the damage was estimated at $2.3 billion. This made Agnes the costliest hurricane at the time, surpassing Betsy of 1965, although it was later surpassed by other hurricanes.
原文: I like the name Agnes! I wouldn't name my daughter it, but I think it would be cute to see a little girl with it. It also reminds me of the little girl from despicable me, which is probably why I like it :) also, the French pronunciation is very pretty, they say it ahn-YES.
原文: I love the name Agnes, it's so vintage and pretty! I think a lot of people would be pleasantly surprised to meet a little girl named Agnes. Aggie and Nessie are cute nicknames :)

原文: Agnes (1281-1364) was the daughter of King Albert I of Germany and his wife Elisabeth.
原文: No, it's too grandma-ish. It belongs in the year 1920 and it should stay there. I try to put the stress on the second syllable, but that doesn't make it any better. Nessie is almost cute as a nickname, but it's not enough to redeem the name.
原文: Agnes Crandall, heroine of Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer. This book is a romantic suspense novel and it is awesome! I really like this name especially after reading Agnes and the Hitman. I think the name is spunky, cute, fresh, feminine and not too girly. I like it!

翻译文: 我觉得法语发音“啊-NYEZ”比较漂亮,英文发音如此苛刻。 “啊-YAYAY”也会奏效。
原文: I think that the French pronunciation "ah-NYEZ" is prettier; the English pronunciation is so harsh. "ah-NYAY" would also work.
原文: I love this name! It's very pretty and graceful. And I agree with few of you: it IS time for some old-fashioned names to make a comeback. This is the name of a character in a story I've written, which is set in the late 1500s. :P
原文: This name has got to make you think "grandma" name without a doubt. I think it also has a hint of "nun" to it, meaning it's also a perfect name for a nun. The meaning of the name just adds to the idea. I do not like the sound of it either, it's unpleasing.
原文: OK, People. Let's cool it with the yuckies. I know there has to be more originality on this website. :p Anyway, this name is cute and rare at this time in history. I think it's one of those names that most people just skip past because it is so dated, but I would personally take advantage of that if I were in a position to be bestowing a name upon a child. And aren't older names coming back into style? Agnes has history, style, grace, poise, and beauty. Need I say more?

翻译文: 就我个人而言,我喜欢这听起来像一个天使。
原文: Personally, I like it. It sounds like an angel.
原文: I always used to hate this name because I thought it sounded like an old lady's name, but I must admit that ever since I saw the movie Despicable Me with the adorable little girl named Agnes, the name has been growing on me. I wouldn't mind using it on a little girl.
原文: I don't have a problem with how it sounds. Agnes actually sounds a bit pretty to me. And I could care less about it being "old-fashioned"- it's classic, not dated. It's just that the religious background is too strong for me.
原文: Apparently, Nessa can be a nickname for Agnes.I like it. I like its classic-ness. Not sure how usable it'd be in real life, but I do definitely like it for a character in a story.
原文: Agnes sounds ugly and masculine. The nickname "Aggie" is cute, but it's just not enough to save this name. I guess if I met a lovely girl called Agnes I'd like the name more but I've only saw one girl called Agnes and she was really nutty.
原文: I think origin of this name is Lithuanian Agnė, Ugnė. This means fire in our language. In near pagan history of my country there was very widespread cult of fire, there is many girl names Agnė, Ugnė nowdays.
原文: I really like this name and always have. I have to admit though that it does seem rather old fashioned to me. While I would have disregarded it for this reason several years ago, I think I will embrace it all the more for the same reason now. Many "old fashioned" names are coming back and I believe this one surely will too. I think the "g" sound is just fine in it. There are many beautiful names with this g sound (Gabrielle, Guinevere, Gretchen, etc.) I wouldn't hesitate to use this name!
原文: In Denmark we pronounce it OW-ness, with the ow sounding like en how. While being an old name and quite uncommon today it's not considered ugly in any way but that may be because of a character on a Danish show called Matador who was called Agnes. She was a beautiful, complex and very strong character so the name is, for a Dane, closely connected to her - and therefore something positive. Needless to say, I therefore like the name (and prefer it in Danish).
原文: I think Agnes is a nice unusual name. I don't understand all this nonsense about 'YUCK YUCK YUCK'. It can sound a bit hard if it is pronounced with too much emphasis on the 'ag'.

翻译文: 德语发音是AHK-nes。 [已注明]
原文: The German pronunciation is AHK-nes. [noted -ed]
原文: "Yuck yuck yuck!"? How immature can you people get? It's a name. You can say you hate it (and hate is a strong word), or that it sounds disgusting, but is it necessary to type yuck three times in all caps?Anyways, I like the pronunciation "ANN-yay", but otherwise no, just no.
原文: Depending on the pronunciation used, Agnes comes off to me as a name that can be pretty or "ugly" so easily. The English pronunciation sounds a bit old-fashioned, but the Swedish one delivers a refreshing name that stands out just enough from the sea of girls with soap opera princess names.
原文: Wow. Lots of negative comments about this name. O.OIt's never really sounded that "old lady"-ish to me because I've almost always associated it with the young Saint Agnes. I still like the way it sounds, anyway. XD
原文: My maternal grandmother's name was Agnes, though she generally went by Nessie. Nobody seems to be able to stand this name, but pronounced and used properly, it is actually quite pretty.

翻译文: 这个名字也可以发音ANN-neez。静音“G”我相信说这样会大大改善。
原文: This name can also be pronounced ANN-neez. Silent 'G'; I believe saying it like this improves it dramatically.
原文: This name is ugly in English. It sounds pretty in other langugaes. In Swedish, for instance, this name is pronounced as ''ahng-nes'', with the 'a' pronounced like it's pronounced in 'ah', and with the 'ng' sound insyead of just the 'g'. I wouldn't use such a religious name, but it's not a bad name, except in English. It would be better if it was pronounced a bit more like in non-English spekaing countries. You might check out The Mystery Jets' song Alas! Agnes from 2005 and listen to how it's pronounced in it. That would be much nicer.

原文: Agnes and the Sanskrit name Agni may derive from a common linguistic root meaning sacred sacrificial fire.
原文: Agnes, although not contemporary, is a sweet, pretty, yet understated name. It's easy to pronounce (unlike all those Niamhs and Aoifes), it doesn't have many English variants to be misspelled (Cameron/Kamryn, Reese/Reece/Rhys), it isn't overused (you'll have three Emilys and Madisons in a kindergarten class), yet it has a beautiful meaning (either "chaste" or "lamb") and has a regal grace without being too "aristocratic" (like Alessandra or Ariana).

翻译文: 着名承办商包括女童军童子军女童军的创始人Agnes Baden-Powell,以及舞蹈演员和编舞师Agnes de Mille。这也是David Copperfield可爱的童年朋友的名字,后来是他的妻子,在狄更斯的同名小说中。
原文: Famous bearers include Agnes Baden-Powell, founder of the Girl Guides or Girl Scouts, and dancer and choreographer Agnes de Mille. It was also the name of David Copperfield's lovely childhood friend and later, his wife, in Dickens' novel of the same name.
原文: Agnes was my paternal grandmother's name. The story she always told was that her parents wanted to name her Bridget. Her father said that was a good Irish name (they were Irish). But the woman who was to be her godmother insisted on Agnes. She said, "If you name that baby Bridget I'll drop her down on the altar rail and walk out of the church." So Agnes it was. I always thought, "Man, Grandma, you got the raw end of that deal" as I had always considered Agnes an extremely ugly name. But then I was not aware of the French pronunciation which indeed makes this name very pretty. Nessie, though, just makes me think of the Loch Ness monster as that is a nickname for it.

翻译文: 在辛普森一家,斯金纳校长的母亲叫艾格尼丝(Agnes)。
原文: In The Simpsons, Principal Skinner's mother is called Agnes.
原文: In French, Agnes is spelled the same way but pronounced Anyes. I've always really liked that pronunciation. I am an Agnes, and I've noticed that it is a difficult name for children to pronounce. Small children usually call me ag-uh-nes. In the TV show Moonlighting (I was just a kid when it was on) there was a woman named Agnes Depesto. Bruce Willis always called her Miss Depesto but her boyfriend called her Agnes. That was my nickname growing up (Depesto).
原文: I love this name. It's uncommon and strong and refined, and it would be terribly refreshing to see it on a little girl, instead of so many Taylors and Madisons and Ashleys.

原文: My grandmother's name was Agnes and she hated it so much she had it changed to Nancy. And she was born in 1912 so it would say it has never been a particularly pretty name, even back then.
原文: I'm an Agnes, so I'm quite sad to hear that some people don't like it. I've always been the only Agnes but a lot of Swedish girls are being named it now. Mixed feelings. I think Agnes is a lot prettier in Swedish, we say "ang-ness"
