Lucy or Imogen?

Hi all, we're expecting our first and have managed to pare the list down to two names: Imogen and Lucy.

Which do you prefer? Surname ends in -ley if it makes a difference.

Using whichever we don't go with as a middle name is unfortunately not an option as baby is already going to have two of those (honour names).

Thank you! 😊

I prefer Lucy.

Lucy Worsley seems to manage ok!

Definitely Imogen for me too - love it.

SnottyLottie · 12/06/2022 15:17

Definitely Imogen

Imogen, with your surname.

If the surname hadn't ended with a similar sound I'd have said Lucy.

Imogen definitely, its a lovely name, strong but still feminine. And much more interesting

Imogen
I also think Lucy sounds a bit wet

They are both lovely but I'd pick Imogen personally.

I really like them both! I think I'd go with Imogen though.

pinklavenders · 12/06/2022 14:10

Definitely Lucy. Pretty and classic.

I find Imogen incredibly harsh and masculine sounding.

SirChenjins · 12/06/2022 14:08

Imogen - love that name

Orangenight · 12/06/2022 14:06

Definitely Imogen

toastofthetown · 12/06/2022 13:40

I'd go for Imogen. I find Lucy rather insipid. I'm also don't love the matching ends of Lucy Huxley, or whatever your surname is.

Catlitterqueen · 12/06/2022 13:40

Imogen. My Dc3 was going to be Imogen if he hadn’t been a boy!

Somewhereinfragglerock · 12/06/2022 13:39

Cause the surname ends with y I would not use Lucy

Luredbyapomegranate · 12/06/2022 13:38

Imogen.

Lucy’s a bit wet
