For baby due in July? I FINALLY have a shortlist of two :)

Her middle name is Anita and she has a brother called Edward and a sister called Flora :) which do you prefer?

Imogen is lovely.
Mabel is OK, but my grandma was a Mabel, and it will always be an 'old lady' name to me.

I used to like Imogen, but that was before Imodium went on sale.

They are both gorgeous and were both on my shortlist for both my girls (exH a tasteless arse!!).
Mog or Mabel? Just lovely and impossible to choose between. Go for both!
Imogen Mabel Anita
Or if you go for Imogen your girls can be Flo and Mo?

Both truly gorgeous, honestly.

Mabel Anita runs together to sound like some kind of margarine or low fat yoghurt advertised by Gok Wan: "if you want to lose weight, try eating mabelanita!" Grin

Mabel. It's a nicer name and sounds better with Anita - Imogen Anita is a bit of a tongue twister.

Imogen

(love,love Flora btw)

I love the name Mabel and really really dislike Imogen.
That said i think Imogen works better with Anita than Mabel.
Is 'Anita' set in stone?

I do like how quaint it sounds but I like Imogen too. I know what you mean about it being 'now" though!

Mabel is beautiful and is a good sibset with Edward and Flora
Imogen is a bit too "now" imo

Imogen

Mabel. It has bags of character and goes perfectly with your other DCs names.

Imogen is a tad dreary and just not a very nice sound to me.

WhatKatyDidnt · 15/04/2015 22:59

Imogen, without a doubt
