Dh and I are thinking of ttc #2 this year. When dh told mil that we were thinking of Imogen if we have a girl she said "cant you think of any names that aren't wierd"
Ds is called Freddie and 10 months on she still says couldn't you have called him something normal.
Are Imogen and Freddie that wierd?

I went to school with 2 Imogens.

Very pretty name and not weird at all.

I love the name Imogen - go for it!

I think it's pretty too
Have you asked your mil what sort of names she likes............?

Thanks I was beginning to think I was wierd.
Though I'll probably change my mind as Freddie was going to be called Jenson until we had the scan

not at all - one of dd's friends is called Imogen - I think it's a lovely name - MILs just like to be critical ime

Not remotely weird. If you care enough what she thinks, you could always run the gamut of brand names, made-up spellings, hypenated names etc, by the time you come back to Imogen she'll probaby think it's delightful (which it is, btw).

She's the wierdo! Imogen and Freddie are the Jill and John of our generation! Classics.

I love the name Imogen and would use if we ever had a dd2 (unlikely )

Wouldn't think of it as a weird name at all.

They are both lovely names and perfectly normal.
