Agnes

Our beloved midwife is named  Agnes.  She has caught many babies in the course of her career but none named after her.  We were thinking of doing her the honor with our next baby if we have a girl.  Our daughter is named Abigael Catherine Dora (family names), my name is Melissa Eve, my husband is Liam and we have an Irish last name.
What do you think?  Do you find Agnes too old fashioned?  What are some good middle names to go with it?   So far we like:

Agnes Grace
Agnes Elizabeth
Agnes Meredith
Agnes Mira
Agnes Brigid
Agnes Claire
Agnes Clementine
Agnes Eve
Agnes Beatrice
Agnes Molly

I like Clementine but it doesn't sound quite right with Agnes. And my husband HATES the name Clementine, so I think I'll have to shelve it.
