Today found out we are having a little girl and can not decide on name, so hard when naming girls.

We like these names what do people think also any other name people like?

Thanks :)

Love, love, love Imogen.

Had we had a girl, we would have named her either Imogen or Oonagh. We had a boy!

Like Astrid, but would be worried it would be shortened to 'ass'

I know an Astrid who is amazing. Her name's never been shortened

Not so keen on Imogen, but that might be personal experiences tainting my view!

Imogen

Astrid sounds like an ointment or something to me. It is also similar to Astral moisturiser.

I like Imogen though.

Too much like astringent. I prefer Astra, but then I suppose you'd get comments about cars.
Imogen is lovely though Smile

It is nice to see what people think :) In the Uk 1500 girls were called Imogen last year and only 64 Astrid.

Love Imogen.

Congrats!

I like Imogen well enough, but Astrid is BEAUTIFUL.

As for potential nicknames, tbh whatever a child is called some little shits children will find some nasty name to call them, so I wouldn't worry about it.
