I am finally down to 2 names:
Eva or Imogen
but really can't decide, change my mind every day!

I think there are a lot of eva varients but not sure how bothered i would be (being one of many emmas growing up didnt really bother me). It's my nan's name which is nice too.

Not sure i would like it if imogen was shortened or if a lot of people pronounced wrong all the time, would you say it's a bit of a faddy name that will go out of fashion?

Imogen not faddy!

I've got an Eve, nothing faddy about it it's the oldest name in the book! It's timeless! Not as keen on Eva but prefer it to Imogen.

Imogen is a beautiful name.

Eve/Eva is hugely popular, so I wouldn't use it.

Sounds like you love Eva, so use that!
Imogen imo is fussy sounding, I really dislike it.

Thank-you everyone, I change my mind so often, i was tilting towards eva yesterday when i posted but by evening i was almost convinced imogen haha
Our surname is Fox so i do think imogen sounds better with it. Imogen ay also be better as an adults name aaaarrrrgghhhhh

I have an Imogen it is a beautiful old name which Shakespeare invented, it was Innogen before then,he saw it written down and throught the nn as an m so Imogen was made!

Eva, of course! Wink

I know a lovely woman called Eva (partly why I am Eva on here) and I knew an Imogen at school who was a cow. Biased, much!

I think Imogen is set ti become more popular. Evies have probably had their peak. Eva is a lovely classic name.
