Imogen

[Silverman]

My partner and I only agree on some names.
We both agree Imogen is a 'nice name' but I don't love it (no sure my partner feels that strongly either).
So my question is.... What are your thoughts on the name imogen?
And can names grow on you?

I could potentially fall in love with it! Or not! but I appreciate it is a pretty name.

I absolutely love it! Beautiful name x

[Silverman]

Thank you for the reply! I think actually it helps when you get positive feedback x

I love Imogen but not keen on Immy. It feels incomplete somehow and sounds too much like Amy.

[Silverman]

Yep my partner doesn't like immy either but I like it! But I suppose any nn develops naturally. I do think it's a very pretty/strong/classy name.

[LeekMunchingSheepShagger]

I love it. I have a niece called Imogen and she is usually Mim for short.

[Thatnovembernight]

LOVE IT! Wanted to use it but exh had an ex girlfriend with that name so it would have been weird to use it. Think it’s gorgeous.

[Silverman]

LeekMunchingSheepShagger.... Mim is lovely!

Thatnovembernight how unfortunate!
I actually really like my husbands ex wife's name too.... That would definitely be a no go

[Astronica]

Love it. Love Mim for nn. Also I've seen Ginny, Meg and Meggy as nns.

[Silverman]

Hadn't thought of Ginny but love it!
Sounds sophisticated x

Imogen is nice - I know someone with an Imogen and she calls her ‘Immy’ which I think it very cute.

[Sparklingsunflower]

I find it harsh and unfeminine, sorry.

[MotherOfTheNoise]

I have an Imogen, so obviously we love it! She has many nicknames, mainly GinGin, Mim and unfortunately Immy at school from teachers.

[Creatureofthenight]

I like it. Funny that you think of it as unfeminine Sparkling, it comes from a misspelling/misprint of the Celtic name Innogen, which means girl or maiden!

[TheRLodger]

I love it / apparently I was going to be called Imogen. Quite often wish I had been

[MollyHuaCha]

Love this name.

[MrsMozartMkII]

Very pretty name.

[Mintypea5]

We're calling our baby due November Imogen. I adore it! It's a name I never even considered before but I've fallen completely in love with it. We're planning on Immy as a nn

[MrsGilly1]

It's a nice name but if you don't love it then don't use it! Use a name you do like and that your partner likes too.

Other suggestions...

Isla
Izolda
Megan

I'm not keen, sorry. But what matters is whether YOU and you partner love it!

[AverageMummy]

It’s lovely

[Kublai]

Lovely name.

[NoSauce]

I find it quite harsh sounding. I don’t like Immy. You need to find a name you love.

[MissHenty]

Love it so so much. Not too rare not too common.
So many nn potentials too. Know of someone that uses “Imo” - nice!
Honestly once you attach it to your child I’m sure you’ll love it

[laughingnow]

I have an Imo.
The name comes from Shakespeare.

[SallyOMalley]

I have an Imogen which has developed into 'Midge' for short at home (not sure where that came from!). She's Immy at school.
