Due date is next week. Imogen has been top choice for the last few months but I'm wondering about Poppy now. Would welcome your thoughts. Thanks x

Imogen

Bubbletree4 · 10/10/2015 15:16

I know several of both. I think I prefer Imogen as Poppy is a but cutesy for my taste but it is still a nice name.

PitilessYank · 10/10/2015 15:09

Can you name her Imogen but use Poppy as a nickname? I have special nicknames for each of my children, that only I use regularly. My kids think it's cute that Mom calls them a different name from everyone else.

SolsburyHell · 10/10/2015 15:05

Imogen but it depends which sounds best with your surname.

MarvinKMooney · 10/10/2015 15:05

Imogen here too. Am a bit biased because it is my 3yo dd's name! Don't know of any other imogens, but there are several poppys round our way.

Imogen.

Imogen.

Poppy

I've loved Poppy for years but now I know quite a few so Imogen has crept ahead for me (I know a toddler and teen Imogen)

HarrietVane99 · 10/10/2015 14:16

Another vote for Imogen.

Imogen

'Poppy is unlikely to be prime minister'. I hate comments like this, they are ridiculous. There are lots of Poppy's, Lily's, Kitty's about these days - it will be the norm in 25 years or so and of course they will be accessing top jobs. Not a good reason to avoid a name at all.

Poppy. It was my grandmother's name, so I disagree that Imogen is more classic / has more longevity.

orlakielyimnot · 10/10/2015 07:54

I think Imogen travels better into adulthood. Imogen can do anything. Poppy is unlikely to be prime minister.

SlinkyB · 10/10/2015 07:52

I agree; wait until she's here and see which one fits her. Good luck!

SanityClause · 10/10/2015 07:51

Imogen.

I don't really like Poppy at all. It's a bit cutesie.

WanderingTrolley1 · 10/10/2015 07:49

Poppy is beautiful.

momb · 10/10/2015 07:48

Poppy is more popular (I know several Poppys but no little Imogens), so I'd go with Imogen. Both lovely though.
