Hi where the family catholic? When a catholic is confirmed they take another name known as a confirmation name. It is not to use on official things. In my family my father always used James Thomas and I can hear my mother saying to him you are not Thomas that’s your confirmation name but before they met and he joined up for WW2 he joined as James Thomas. Just to add when I have looked at his father who was John he enlisted for WW1 as John James. So father and son both giving themselves an extra name .hope this might help Carolyn
By the way Agnes is a saints name that would be a popular choice for a young lady
