Love Scarlett
Imogen nice
Not so keen on Jasmine

Imogen, beautiful name. I also like Jasmine, but that is very popular now. Scarlett is ok, but least favourite out of the three.

I really like Imogen.

@Bangendedscoots hit me with some middle name suggestions 😆

I like both.

A pp said Imogen was really popular but I've only ever come across one in real life whereas I went to school with 4 Jasmines (I'm in my late 20s) so Jasmine seems more common to me.

I have to say I don't think any of your middle names flow that well with them but middle names aren't often used so that probably doesn't really matter Smile

Haha thanks all - seems to have split the room 50/50!

I was leaning Imogen - to me it’s quite a sophisticated, grown up name which I like. I was worried that Jasmine is a bit dated, so really interested so many people like it! Now I’m totally confused lol.

Still have 10 weeks to go so plenty of time to decide!!

Imogen Lilly - ok if it you spell it Lily
Imogen Mae - Mae is awful
Imogen Esme - not keen on Esme
Jasmine Ada - don't like Ada
Jasmine Mae - May is a filler middle name
Jasmine Eliza - Jasmine Elizabeth is muchh nicer

ISmellBurnings · 14/03/2022 12:13

Jasmine because Imogen is so popular.

Not keen on Mae as it’s one of the filler names for girls currently along with Rose and Grace. It’s overused.

How about Jasmine Elise? Or Elizabeth.

TatianaBis · 14/03/2022 12:11

The Imogens I know are Mimi and Imo.

Snowbell99 · 14/03/2022 11:58

Jasmine

Imogen has more history but I dislike the sound.

Scarlett is unattractive "harlot" and "scar"

JungleJimbo · 14/03/2022 11:55

Jasmine Eliza

Westfacing · 14/03/2022 11:53

I knew a 90-something Imogen - nickname from childhood, Moggie! 😻

Itsnotover · 14/03/2022 11:50

You need to also think about nicknames. Every Imogen I know is known as ‘Immi’

Itsnotover · 14/03/2022 11:49

Jasmine

bloominglovelyorange · 14/03/2022 11:48

Imogen!

TatianaBis · 14/03/2022 11:31

Imogen Jasmine?

Meandthesky · 14/03/2022 11:28

I really love Imogen

beetree1 · 14/03/2022 10:09

I've always loved Jasmine - Jasmine Eliza is my fav

resm · 14/03/2022 09:40

Scarlett.

dmb91 · 14/03/2022 09:34

I love all three but if I had to choose
Scarlett
Jasmine
Imogen (simply because I don't like Immy as a nickname)

Your middle name choices
Imogen Lily
Imogen Esme
Imogen Mae
(Although I'm not keen on any of them)

Jasmine Eliza
Jasmine Ada
Jasmine Mae

Lilaclavenders · 14/03/2022 08:39

Jasmine

Imogen is so harsh and unfeminine

Isaisa · 14/03/2022 08:33

Love Jasmine

I’d pick Jasmine Eliza

Honey2 · 14/03/2022 08:29

Thanks all,

So a NO for Scarlett then... I make that 6 for Imogen and 8 for Jasmine.

How about with these middle names -

Imogen Lilly
Imogen Mae
Imogen Esme

Jasmine Ada
Jasmine Mae
Jasmine Eliza

Definitely Jasmine! Cute and jazzy!

I've always thought Imogen was a pretty ugly name... reminds me of engine oil.

Scarlett is a bit meh.

canyoubelievethat · 14/03/2022 06:48

Imogen
