Imogen

Imogen - Esme is far too popular.

Herland · 29/04/2019 14:25

There is an Imogen in every class where I live and lots be of them get called Imo. Which I don't like. Sounds like Emo.

IggyAce · 29/04/2019 14:20

Imogen but I’m biased. My dd doesn’t like Immy as a nn her friends call her Idgy.

Sophronia · 29/04/2019 14:18

Both very popular where I live. There are loads at the baby groups we go to. I’m not keen on either, but Esme if I had to pick.

Lllot5 · 29/04/2019 11:23

I like both but if it were me choosing I’d pick Imogen simply because my Mum’s cat is esme. From twilight films I think my niece named her.

Imogen

Esmé

Imogen is harsh and unfeminine imo

Gobletoffire · 29/04/2019 10:02

Imogen, beautiful name!

Imogen

Esme is a bit down-market where I live

MercyBodle · 29/04/2019 01:01

Imogen.

EL8888 · 29/04/2019 00:40

Esmé

Shadow1234 · 29/04/2019 00:39

Well i really like both, so that doesn't help!

llangennith · 29/04/2019 00:05

Both but Esme is gaining popularity fast.

pearldeodorant · 29/04/2019 00:04

Imogen

TheweewitchRoz · 28/04/2019 23:59

Both are quite pretty but both are extremely popular right now - loads of them around.

Argeles · 28/04/2019 23:58

Esmé.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 28/04/2019 23:54

Probably imogen for me! As above I like esme pronounced es-mee but everyone seems to be pronouncing it es-may these days which I really dont like!

Disappearedtothe80s · 28/04/2019 23:25

Imogen, lovely classic name and I like Immy as a nickname.

I feel you may have pronunciation problems with Esme.
