Hi everyone,

We love the names Imogen, Emilia and Millie but can’t decide, what’s your favourite?

Imogen - short for Immy unless anyone has any other nickname ideas?

Emilia short for Emmie or Millie

or Millie as stand alone.

Love the middle names Primrose, Roselle, Rosella and Rose. Has to have a Rose reference

thanks!

Aw thank you! Would you shorten Emilia to Millie? :)

Emilia is the best from your list.

Theoldwoman · 23/07/2022 06:41

I prefer Millicent with nn Millie.

antelopevalley · 23/07/2022 01:54

I would choose Imogen Rose as well. Beautiful names. But they are all fine.

Linnet · 23/07/2022 01:52

Imogen Rosella,

Imo, Gen or Genny for short

UpToMyElbowsInDiapers · 23/07/2022 01:51

Imogen Rose is absolutely stunning! All of the names are fine though (except for Millie on its own, which I think is too cutesy). Rare that I find a list of names (or a combination) on MN of which I am so enamoured. I think you have excellent taste!

*better not between

dontyouwishyourgirlfriendwas · 23/07/2022 01:46

Imogen is great. Classic, classy, good nickname potential.

Millie feels too nicknamey to be a stand alone name in my opinion. I’d also spell it Milly.

Can’t stand Emilia (sorry) Amelia is much between imo.

theclangersarecoming · 22/07/2022 23:11

Why not Imogen Emilia?

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/07/2022 20:29

Emilia Primrose, Milly for short. Avoid Rose as a middle name, it's currently SO overused!

NatalieH2220 · 22/07/2022 20:24

Imogen Rose definitely

Goodnewsday · 22/07/2022 20:23

Millie or Imogen, hard to choose which!

ladygindiva · 22/07/2022 20:22

I love Imogen. Dd has a friend called Rosabel which I think is the nicest Rose themed name I've heard.

KylieCharlene · 22/07/2022 20:09

Imogen Rose is beautiful.
I also like Imogen Rosalie.

AmandaMirandaPanda · 22/07/2022 20:05

Imogen is my favourite of these. Immy is OK, but I also know an Imogen who goes by Imo, which suits her.

I case you wanted any more "rose" (middle) names, my favourites are Rosalie, Rosalia, and Rosario. But just plain Rose is nice too; I'd just go with whatever works best with your surname.

20viona · 22/07/2022 20:04

Imogen or what about Amelie

SalviaOfficinalis · 22/07/2022 20:02

I love Imogen.

Emilia is nice but Amelia/Emilia/Amelie/Millie are very popular at the moment. I think Imogen is a bit more distinct somehow.

I also love Rosa for a middle name option.

KarrotKake · 22/07/2022 20:02

I initially read Emilia as Emelia. I assume they are actually pronounced differently? Not sure that that bothers you.

Agree with some comments above - Imogen Rose is beautiful. I know Imogens called Mogs and Immy.

17caterpillars1mouse · 22/07/2022 20:00

Imogen Primrose is beautiful.

I find Emilia boring as it's so common. For Emmie I'd choose Emmeline.

I like Millie but prefer Imogen

Workinghardeveryday · 22/07/2022 19:56

our Imogen has shortened over the years to Gena or Mojo.lovely name

Westfacing · 22/07/2022 19:55

I met a 90 year old Imogen - known as Moggie! The NN was given by her school friends, she told me, rather than family.

ariesalien · 22/07/2022 19:49

Imogen Rose (Immy) probably sounds the nicest.
Imogen Primrose is slightly more interesting, but I definitely prefer Imogen to Emilia and definitely more than Millie as a stand-alone.

Pemba · 22/07/2022 17:56

Imogen Rose is gorgeous, for short you could have Immy, Imo, Genny (Jenny).

Millie is very sweet perhaps a bit girly, and needs to be short for a longer name.
I never really see the point of Emilia, why not Amelia or Emily? Or Emmeline is nice.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/07/2022 17:56

Emilia Primrose (Emmie)

SpaceJamtart · 22/07/2022 17:53

I really like Emilia and Imogen, I know one Imogen who gets called Ginny.
