My name Agnes is like the color light pink. It's plain and simple like my name. Also it's a name that may seem old-fashioned to some people. Agnes can seem like an old lady name; sometimes I even agree. But I also believe that my name fits me well.

    My name means pure and holy in Greek. But I don't think that that definition fits me. It was also my great-grandmother's name. I've never met her because she died before I was born. But I am told that i have the same color eyes as her. Even though we have the same name i wasn't really named after her. My mom had a cup that she drank milk out of as a child that had been my great-grandmother's, and it said Agnes on it. My mom always liked the name and thought it was pretty. My dad liked the name because it was the name of his favorite clothing store Agnés B. He always thought that the name was cool. My parents also wanted a name that was unique and not common.

   I do know that my full name is a mouthful, Agnes Belle von Ziegesar Griggs. But i don't understand why people mispronounce Agnes. It's not that hard to say and it's spelled exactly the same way it sounds. But I guess it's mispronounced because it's a name that you don't hear or see a lot.

   My middle name Belle means beautiful in French. I really like my middle name because I think it really fits in with my full name. My parents chose my middle name because they wanted something with one syllable. because if I had a long middle name my full name would be too long. They chose Belle because a friend suggested it and they liked it. My mom also liked the name Pearl but my dad didn't like it.

   I feel like my name is like the number 5. Both my first and middle names have five letters and 5 is kind of lucky number to me. Also 5 is a prime and an odd number. Both those qualities make 5 different from other numbers, and my name is different from other name because it is so unpopular.

   My name is who I am and makes me the person that I am today. My name is something that has been with me my whole life and i couldn't imagine having any other name for myself.
