I think Imogen is a beautiful name and it's top of the list if we have a girl (i'm due in March). But why do so many dislike it? It's making me want to take it off the list!

To me it sounds a harsh kind of name. It's probably just me but I find that most names beginning with I do sound harsh.

I like Imogen. The ones I know get shortened to Immy.

(bear in mind that I like the name Dorcas)

Yes. Yes it is. It's an ugly shape. It has no redeeming features.

...ahem. Sorry, I think I may be the person you've been seeing around.

I like it and hear it 100 times a day as DD has an Imogen friend.

Were people so judgemental back in the day? It's an established name. Not that unusual.
If you like it you like it.

Thats funny I don't see it as posh at all.

I don't particularly like it though.

Very posh/aspirational posh
