Imogen Lara

Mynoodlesareoodles · 24/10/2022 19:49

Josephine Lara - also love Josie

Rauha · 24/10/2022 19:47

Josephine Francesca

DuchessOfSausage · 24/10/2022 19:42

It became very popular out of the blue when the film came out.
It's probably said to be overused because if you add it to the Amelie/Emily/Amelia/Emilia names, it seems a bit samey.

It's pretty written down but I just hear Ammuly.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 24/10/2022 19:39

India Josephine

Hanneli · 24/10/2022 19:36

Amelie is beautiful.
Why do so many people say it is overused? It has never even been in the top 50?!

FennelAndOnions · 23/10/2022 13:22

Amelia (and Amelie) are soooo overused. She would just be yet another Amelia so it depends if that bothers you.

I love India.

Josephine is nice.

I don’t like Imogen and again it’s so popular I feel like it’s been done. There are Immy’s everywhere.

Imogen Lara

PinkSyCo · 23/10/2022 11:09

Amelia Josephine Kay is lovely.

WildCherryBlossom · 23/10/2022 11:00

Josephine Francesca Kay = JFK one of the most famous sets of initials ever. That would be memorable if she had to have initials on sports kit or whatever later on in life 😄

Ship · 23/10/2022 10:41

Imogen Josephine or Imogen Lara

JamieFrasersBigSwingingKilt · 23/10/2022 10:34

Josephine Lara is very elegant.

FayCarew · 23/10/2022 10:26

Amelia - been popular too long. don't like it anyway
Josephine - ok. Jo, Joss or Josie? Jo K not great
Amelie - meh, Emily is nicer
India - just no
Imogen - not keen on Immy

Josephine - ok
Francesca - ok
Lara - Laura is nicer

Imogen Lara or Josephine Francesca
(ILK or JFK)

nelliebear8 · 23/10/2022 10:18

My favourite is Lara, but if it has to be a middle name, then

Amelie Josephine Kay

Fuckallthetories · 23/10/2022 09:41

Josephine Lara Kay
(can shorten Josephine to joss/josie when older)
Amelia Josephine Kay
(Amelia Josie)

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 23/10/2022 09:38

Josephine is one of my most favourite girls names. Imogen Josephine Kay would give cool alphabetical initials!

WildCherryBlossom · 23/10/2022 08:56

Imogen Lara !

Mumofgirls2017 · 23/10/2022 08:08

Amelie Josephine

mathanxiety · 23/10/2022 01:49

I only like Josephine from your list of first names. Lovely name imo.

I love Lara too, though you want it as a middle name.

Lara Josephine Kay
Josephine Amelie Kay
Lara Francesca Kay
Josephine Imogen Kay

Pixiedust1234 · 23/10/2022 01:45

First of all they are lovely names. Its not often I like them all 😂

Amelia Josephine is my favourite.

pitterypattery00 · 23/10/2022 01:38

the only one I’d avoid is India, which I really dislike. It has sort of colonial undertones that I find uncomfortable.
Completely agree with this.

My favourite of your list is Josephine Francesca. As PP said, Jo Kay doesn't really work but Josie Kay is fine.

DeeDeeDaisy · 22/10/2022 23:45

Amelie Josephine or Josephine Francesca

Babygirlnameq · 22/10/2022 23:40

Josephine and India are my favourite two from your list.
