And also are there any possible nn's?

I love the name Imogen - Immy as nn - and have a bit of name regret that we didn't call my 4 month old DD this. Can't remember why we crossed it off the list at the time.

It's a lovely name but incredibly popular. Nn is usually Immy but I'm liking some of the other variations (not Imo though, that spoils a very pretty name).

not very keen on it to be brutally honest

Love it. I know a little Imogen who goes by Impy as her pet name. Very sweet.

I love it but then I have one! She's mainly Immy but seems to be having a preference for being called her full name now that she is 'a big school girl' Smile

My best pal's name. She is known to all as Imi.

Love it! I know an Immy and Imo

I love it. DH does not.

DragonHorse · 12/11/2016 07:29

Oh I love love love Imogen! If I had another DD she'd be Imogen. I probably wouldn't shorten it.

I met a little Imogen nn Immy on holiday over the summer.

I like it, mainly because I like Immy as a nickname.

However, the Imogen I know goes by Gen (prn. Jen).

I really love Immy as nn, but wasn't sure if I was just making it up and it sounded silly.

I know one who goes by Immy, and I've heard of Gen/Jen/Jenny as a nn too.

Love it Smile . Possible nicknames are Imo and Immy. Also know a Midge!
