I like all three but I'd choose Claudia over the other two.

Claudia
Imogen

not keen on Gabriella

We have similar tastes. I have a Claudia, but also on my list was Gabriella, Lydia, Charlotte, Georgia and Alexandra. I went with Claudia in the end because I love it and don't care about the meaning. Much as I love Gabriella, part of me could never really like Gabby which I think would be an inevitable nickname. I also don't care much for Ella either, so that wasn't a route I wanted to go down.

They're all lovely names, Imogen is probably just my favourite.

Claudia

Claudia.

The meaning definitely wouldn't put me off one bit. Lots of names have less than pretty meanings, they're still widely used.

Mary - bitter
Cameron - crooked nose
Persephone - bearer of death
Cecilia - blind

Like them all. Imogen is probably my fave followed by Gabriella, but I don't think you can go wrong with that shortlist!

Claudia by a country mile

Gabriella

Imogen and Gabriella both lovely.

Not keen on Claudia at all.

No - I know it means that because it's come up on here before but I don't know the meaning of anyone's name other than mine and my BFF's from when we were eight and looked them up, and DS1's because someone else told me.

So in my unscientific sample of one Grin people don't really bother to look up meanings, they are more likely to associate with a famous Claudia (like the Strictly one, for eg)

Would the meaning of Claudia - lame - put anyone off?
