Verity and Bryony are both lovely. Like Imogen, they aren't too obscure but aren't overused either. And they would suit a grown woman as much as a child. To me, Robyn still sounds like a boy's name. Evangeline is pretty but four syllables is a bit long in my opinion.

Merryn

MonaTheMoaner · 28/01/2018 22:50

Definitely Verity from your list.

minipie · 28/01/2018 22:44

Imogen and Romilly
Imogen and Cecily
Imogen and Alice
Imogen and Livia

Of your list I absolutely love Bryony

mintich · 28/01/2018 22:40

Xanthe is upper middle class? Where I'm from it's a "chavvy" name!

Yika · 28/01/2018 22:36

Lovely name suggestions, I think they'd all go well though Evangeline has a bit of a different feel to it.

What about
Tamara
Romina
Ramona
Livia
Susannah

Leilaniiii · 28/01/2018 22:34

I remember a poster on here saying, “the name Evangeline makes me feel like I’ve eaten 2 cream eclairs and regretted at least one of them.”

Still a nice name, though.

My Imogen Sophia Rose's sister is Emilia Isabelle Grace.

Both Shakespearean.

Also considered Viola and Constance

Elodie
Romilly
Clementine
Josephine
Emmeline
Felicity
Beatrice
Lydia

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 28/01/2018 21:30

I think Imogen and Phoebe go well together

Isadora2007 · 28/01/2018 17:14

Do you shorten Imogen? If not, then verity would be nice as it isn’t a shortened name either. But if you do, then I would go for Genevieve as you can have Gen, genny or Evie

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 28/01/2018 17:11

Thea.

kaytee87 · 27/01/2018 21:44

I think Imogen and Megan go well together

Four4me · 27/01/2018 17:43

I'd have loved a Romilly

Theshipsong · 27/01/2018 17:34

Just thought of a few more in a similar vein to Imogen.

What about
Erica
Amelia
Emily
Mya
Abigail
Margaret

PsychoPumpkin · 27/01/2018 14:10

Erin

Theshipsong · 27/01/2018 14:08

Personally I’d steer away from some of the more upper middle class (for want of a better word) names eg Xanthe as I don’t think Imogen really falls there.

What about

Imogen and......
Elizabeth/Beth
Isabel
Florence
Anna
Grace
Olivia
Catherine
Jessica
Sarah
Zara
Zoe

Fifthtimelucky · 27/01/2018 13:53

How about another name that features in Shakespeare?
Miranda,
Juliet,
Julia,
Cordelia,
Kate,
Viola,
Rosalind,
Celia
Beatrice,
Helena,
Olivia,
Hermione,
Isabella
Plus lots of more unusual ones like Ophelia and Desdemona that I'd definitely avoid
