How many do you know? Imogen and Mya

37 replies

IBelieveInPink · 28/07/2013 07:30

We have narrowed names for our baby girl down to 2. I know names go in and out of popularity, but I am just curious to know how popular these 2 are at the moment?
So... How many children do you know with either the name Imogen or Mya? Thanks :)

4 Imogen's

Countless Mya, Mia and Maya's to the point where they merge in my mind into one name.

QuietNinjaTardis · 28/07/2013 07:40

1 Imogen. No Maya's or myas but 1 Mia at my sons nursery.

mrz · 28/07/2013 07:42

2 Imogens I Mya 2 Mias and 1 Maya in my class

exoticfruits · 28/07/2013 07:48

Not many Imogens but countless Myas spelt various ways.

Bunbaker · 28/07/2013 07:53

2 Imogens. One age 13 and one in her 20s.

Slainte · 28/07/2013 07:55

No Imogen but loads of Mya/Mia all from 0-4 yrs.

Leviticus · 28/07/2013 07:56

Tickledyellow · 28/07/2013 07:58

I know 2 little Imogens and no Myas

IceNoSlice · 28/07/2013 07:59

One Imogen and 2 Mias

nurseneedshelp · 28/07/2013 08:06

I know of one adult imogen (lovely name)

Dozens of mias/myas/mya's they all sound so similar that I get mixed up and end up pronouncing them all wrong (awful common name in my opinion)

magicstars · 28/07/2013 08:14

I've come across a couple of Imogen's (nice name). Know a few Mia's, Mayla's & Maya's.

Meglet · 28/07/2013 08:22

0 Imogens.

1 Maya and 1 Mya.

Scruffey · 28/07/2013 08:32

1 Imogen
2 Mia, 2 Maya, 0 Mya

I would go with Imogen.

Passmethecrisps · 28/07/2013 08:34

Passmethecrisps · 28/07/2013 08:35

Imogen is a lovely name. Mya is nice too but I really like Imogen.

Writerwannabe83 · 28/07/2013 09:34

There aren't many Imogen's where I live Smile

Imogen is one of the most popular girls names locally. That and Isobelle and Isla

I know a few Imogens and no Myas but do know a Maya and a Mia.

VonHerrBurton · 28/07/2013 09:51

No Imogens. Love it though, really pretty.

Mya, Mia, Maya, Maya-Grace, Mia-Rose, Mia-Elizabeth ...aaaarrrgh..thousands of 'em. One particular mother corrects everyone at every opportunity 'erm, its Mayy-ah, actually' when anyone gets the damn pronunciation wrong, they all merge into one common name to me.

fluffyraggies · 28/07/2013 10:44

1 Imogen
1 Mia
1 Mya
1 Maya

lljkk · 28/07/2013 10:51

How do you pronounce Mya? Is it My-UH? MEEE-uh, what?
I know one Maya (MY-uh) and no Imogens.
Imogen makes me cringe, tbh, not remotely pretty in my mind. I can't see Imogen having a sister called Jayde & a brother called Tyler.
