Already have a 2yr old Imogen and due is 7wks...struggling for another girls name to compliment it

Don't know what we're having but due in 7wks. Can't decide on ANY girls names :(
We have a few boys names.... Elliott / Edward / Charles. I like Isabelle but I think it's starting to rank up there in the Top 20 names. I prefer something a little more old fashioned, traditional and one that's not heard of that often. I need it to compliment Imogen and that's why I like the sound of Isabelle. Suggestions please? x

I agree with Juliet or Beatrice. Immy and Bea is great.

Stephanie, Penelope, Camilla, Tabitha, Octavia.

Eleanor or Isabella

I would avoid two 'I' names. My sister & I both have 'K' names (we are not the Kardashians!) & people forever got them mixed up as children & it irked.

I think Imogen & Juliet are lovely together - 2 beautiful Shakespearean names. If I had another DD (not likely) she would be Juliet.

Imogen and Audrey
Imgogen and Matilda (immy and Tilly)
Sasha? Ruby? Margot? Sophie?

I have a 3 year old Imogen Lily and 9m old mason Lucas. If he was a girl he would of been Isabella Ivy :) x

Nadia - Yes, Imogen was King Cymbeline's daughter. Smile

I don't know if I would go for Isabel/lle, lovely as it is, because of the afore-mentioned problems you could get with 2 sisters with the same initial. Isabelle is very popular too of course, if that bothers you.

Imogen is lovely too, and has a bit of a Shakespearean vibe to me (think she was one of his characters, can't remember which play) so what about something like Juliet, Miranda, Rosalind, Helena, Nerissa or Cordelia?

Alice would complement it well.

Rhubarbgarden · 23/01/2015 21:20

I think Bryony goes well with Imogen. You don't come across many either.

MarvinKMooney · 23/01/2015 18:58

I like Imogen and Alice, and Imogen and Esme.

(At risk of outing myself, I have an Edward and an Imogen! Good choice. Grin)

My DSis has an Imogen. Her new baby daughter is called Nancy.

Her shortlist included: Harriet, Francesca, Philippa, Meredith and Genevieve.

If DN had been a boy she would've been called Benjamin Felix.

LL0015 · 22/01/2015 21:29

Eliza broke into top 100 a few years ago, I remember feeling disappointed that my DD name was getting 'more common' but we have still only ever met one other. Of any age.

birchwoods · 22/01/2015 21:28

I know an Imogen (Immie) and her sister is Tabitha (Taba).

LL0015 · 22/01/2015 21:26

Eliza
I have one and my god daughter is Imogen.
Both have three syllables and are fairly soft sounding if you know what I mean.

Their nicknames are Izzie and Idgie
