Think we have finally whittled name choices down to two girls names and would appreciate opinions please! :) we already have a daughter called Isla so would like it to go with her name too.

So.. Poppy or Imogen? What do you think?

Imogen

BoboBunnyH0p · 21/05/2016 20:38

Imogen, I think the Imogen and Isla sound find together, just make sure they have different middle initial so they don't mix up post.

Poppy-no Prob with two 'I' names if you really like Imogen though. How's about Ava?

CPtart · 21/05/2016 21:01

Imogen.

Sparklingsky · 21/05/2016 21:06

Imagen does sound classic. However - if you remove cultural references and listen to the actual sounds IMHO Imagen doesn't fair well - unlike Isla. Poppy is better in this regard. Ava is even better.

Imogen Blush

Imogen by a million miles.

Poppy

Poppy. Knew a dreadful Imogen....clods my view of the name!

pleasethankyouthankyouplease · 22/05/2016 13:56

No, doesn't clod. That's what I am. It clouds-CLOUDS my view

1horatio · 22/05/2016 15:01

Imogen :)

WineCheeseSleep · 22/05/2016 19:26

I love both but I'll vote for Imogen. I think it sounds lovely with Isla too.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 22/05/2016 19:40

Poppy - I like flower names and they are such cheerful flowers, such a gorgeous colour. And something a child can relate to from a young age which I think is lovely - "I called you Poppy after this beautiful red flower" - as you walk through fields of gold together
All blessings to you all whichever you decide Flowers

Sophronia · 22/05/2016 23:40

Definitely Imogen. Poppy just makes me think of 'popping' things.

BertrandRussell · 22/05/2016 23:43

Imogen.

Imo is a lovely shortening. And so is Immie.

Poppy is a name for a cat.

LowAMH · 23/05/2016 00:06

Imogen

Bellasima20 · 25/05/2016 10:53

100% Poppy - can not stand Imogen, just twee and pretentious.

Scattymere · 25/05/2016 10:56

Another vote for Poppy. Also adore flower names. Imogen sound clunky and boring, but know a few mums who chose it because they think it sounds really classy. It doesn't (to me anyway). Imy is also most sickly nn I've heard arrggh!!

squoosh · 25/05/2016 13:49

Poppy is WAY more twee than Imogen.

Dixxie · 25/05/2016 13:56

Both lovely names Smile

lizziet123 · 25/05/2016 14:15

Imogen.

IMHO Isla and Imogen flow better than Isla and poppy. Both lovely names tho. Congratulations! X

LadyAntonella · 25/05/2016 14:50

Poppy Smile

Pipilangstrumpf · 25/05/2016 15:11

I wouldn't have two same gender siblings with the same initial (can get confusing when mail is addressed to Miss I. Surname).

But I don't like Poppy at all.

TeradelFuego · 27/05/2016 01:05

If either of these names could be said to be 'twee' it is quite obviously Poppy!

OliveOrTwist · 27/05/2016 01:16

Another vote for Imogen here. One of my favourite girls names!
