Like Imogen but getting v popular round here

Of the others - Laura my fave.

janeite · 11/10/2008 20:02

One of my dds has Naomi as one of her names. She is beautiful and clever!

beansontoast · 11/10/2008 20:01

hannah

I always liked Imogen, until my friend said quite absentmindedly, 'Imogen all the people' (as in the John Lennon song) It did make me laugh but it also made me think twice. Not a reason to not use it tho!

They're all nice but Naomi is the nicest - the others are all quite bland (and there are millions of Hannahs and Lauras).

Always remember that the opinions of mad old biddies on the internet count for nothing. Pick the name you like!

Remotew · 07/10/2008 23:00

I'll watch out for you.

MrsThierryHenry · 07/10/2008 22:56

Phew! Hmm...maybe I could exercise my nasty streak one day (I'll call myself Colatella)

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:55

lol

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:54

Don't worry Mrs TH, some people have photos an all. You only need to name change when you feel like being really nasty

BirdyArms · 07/10/2008 22:52

I like them all but Imogen and Hannah are my favourites. I went to school with a lovely Imogen, she was a real tomboy and was always called Imo which suited her much better.

MrsThierryHenry · 07/10/2008 22:52

Oh dear, I hope this doesn't call for a name change for you! I dread the idea of people knowing my true identity!

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:52

Thinking about names backwards, my house name is very interesting. Obviously cannot say as then I've really outed.

It took someone else to point it out as I'm a bit thick, was going to change it but love it now. It's amazing how many call centre staff haven't a clue.

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:49

Lovely, MrsTH. Just realised I've outed myself! Still not many Mnetter in my area.

MrsThierryHenry · 07/10/2008 22:46

My DDs are called Thumbelle (cause she's really short) and Colatella (cause it's my favourite drink). Awrigh'?

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:43

Sorry, but Naomi is my DD's name that I chose and plenty of people have pointed out what it spells backwards. To all you feckers that hate it two fingers!!. OK everyone is entitled to their opinions but I hate you all.

Bet your DD's have a chav name.

MrsThierryHenry · 07/10/2008 22:35

Eve! Stop it! What about your name backwards, then, huh? it spells - oh, err...ahem.

lunamoon2 · 07/10/2008 22:35

I like Naomi the least but don't know why.

Imogen is my fave but Hannah and Laura are 2 classic timeless names.

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:34

Also, its imoan backwards take that how you like!!!

dinkymum · 07/10/2008 22:34

Imogen

Remotew · 07/10/2008 22:32

Naomi,is classic and from the bible, just in case anyone thought it was a made up name. Also translated it mean 'pleasant'. And they are. So much nicer that Laura and Hannah.

I always said if I had a DD she would be JoHanna, (spent a lot if time in South Africa) however when it came to it I went off it.

MrsThierryHenry · 07/10/2008 22:30

Nine Years, I can beat you on Naomi - if you say it 'Nigh-omi' then the shortened version sounds like a Kiwi saying 'No'!

Well, it amused me anyway. I think I need some sleep.

NineYearsOfNappies · 07/10/2008 22:23

About the shortenings - at least with Imogen you can have an "Immie" or an "Imo" or "Mimi" or other variations.

Hannah will be "Han" (or "An" or "Nan" depending on where you live),

Naomi will become the utterly hideous "Neigh"

And Laura can become "Lol" or "Lou".

Go with Imogen, beautiful name!

pointydog · 07/10/2008 21:35

Naomi is lovely and underused.
