I like Imogen a lot but it is growing in popularity.

I'd probably go for Tamsin, because you don't get too many babies called Tamsin and it is very pretty.

Imogen

Tamsin's lovely and much less popular than Imogen

Much prefer Imogen. Not too popular here (West Yorks). It is a lovely name.

I have a nearly 2 year old Imogen. Haven't come across another yet but I'm sure we will. We call her Mimi for short.

LOVE Imogen (Immy).
HATE Tamsin.

No rational at all.

Rationale, not rational.

treacletart - I know a nearly 5-year-old Imogen nn-ed Mimi, too!

DH vetoed both Tamsin and Imogen last time, now he says I can have 'my' Tamsin or Imogen.

I know of one little girl called Imogen but no Tamsins.

We already have a Christian, James and Niamh

BUT, we don't know whether this LO is a boy or a girl!!

We've got a Tamsin, now 5 & not met another one. Good Cornish Saints' name - struggle to see what the chav connotations are! Imogen's are 10-a-penny in this part of the world (but I still think it's a pretty name, too)

GwarchodwrPlant · 31/07/2009 21:50

Didn't mean to offend anyone with the 'chav' connotations, it's only my opinion based on the fact that I know 2 of them and they are really really chavvy! So it's not a nice name to me.

Carys or Imogen were my top two girls names when i had DS.

So Imogen for me.

Tamsin

Prefer Tamsin to Imogen. The one I know (from school in the 70s) is very classy.

Report

Firawla · 01/08/2009 12:19

Both are really nice
I dont think Tamsin is chavvy at all!!
and its less common at the moment so i would say maybe go with that?

also how can tasmin be chav!!

I like tasmin, and Tamsin. Tamsin is prettier and easier to say I think. Also, it's less predictable right now than Imogen, so I like that. I don't know millions of Imogens, but I know of two under two. So I say, if you like Tamsin, go for it. How can it be chav? It's hardly Billy-Rae, Or Indiana-Merlot
