Two days to go - but which name??

Booked in for a c-section this week and still can't decide on a name! I think we've narrowed it down to these two, but which one? It's starting to drive me insane...

Imogen
Phoebe

DH also really likes Sabrina, but I think it's too similar sounding to our daughter's name, and I prefer the other two names I think, despite their popularity.

Please help!

Imogen with the diminutive Ginny!

Phoebe!

Laci3Pound · 06/07/2021 12:27

Both are nice but I prefer Phoebe. Every time I hear the name Imogen I think of the girl from big brother who had an affair with Ryan Giggs. On twitter everyone was writing "Ryan Giggs has taken out a superinjunction, I can't Imogen why". Grin

Imogen. Love it! Lots of nickname potential too. Imo, Immy, Mo, Gin, Ginny... Moomin?!

And you guys are right - we should just wait and see which name suits her when she arrives. But if I don't focus on names I'll only start worrying about something else

You could start manically doing all of the washing and eating sandwiches until you are fit to burst which is what I did Smile

No preference - he likes them both equally

I agree with the others then, wait until she's here. With DD we didn't have a Girl's name. DH held her and said "what about BabyBunny?" and we both knew it was perfect Smile

Imogen and Phoebe are both lovely, classic names.

Not keen on Sabrina.

I'm having a c section on Friday and if it's a girl
we'll be calling her Phoebe! It's a beautiful name.

Imogen

100% Phoebe!

PattyPan · 06/07/2021 12:07

I prefer Imogen but I’d wait until she’s here at this point before deciding. Good luck! Smile

Granohlaa · 06/07/2021 12:06

Wait until you meet her 🙂

HoldingTheDoor · 06/07/2021 12:06

Imogen.

stellarfox · 06/07/2021 12:05

Wait until you meet her to decide! Both lovely names
