So I thought we had settled on Juliet Elizabeth but DH has tonight declared that he prefers Imogen. Thoughts? Juliet or Imogen? Thanks x

Juliet - beautiful.

DOTLEYtheONEeyedDINO · 03/01/2017 19:54

Both are lovely! Think I prefer Imogen though.

Imogen

Juliet

I like both but prefer Juliet.

CarrotCakeMuffins · 03/01/2017 19:58

Juliet here too. Imogen is a bit more popular I think but not overly so.

Imogen

Juliet

Both lovely though!

Imogen

Do you prefer Jules/Julie or Immy as a nickname because chances are that is what she will become. They're both beautiful names though, you can't go wrong.

Nonameyet1 · 03/01/2017 20:19

Juliet is less popular but gorgeous. Imogen is also nice but popular. I'd go for Juliet.

Juliet. I love both though.

goodbyestranger · 03/01/2017 20:20

My DD Juliet is Juliet definitely not Jules/ Julie (she's 24) and DS2's girlfriend (21) is Imogen not Immy.

Imogen is lovely but I still prefer Juliet.

FinnegansCake · 03/01/2017 20:50

Juliet! It's a beautiful name. I'm not keen on Imogen, it doesn't sound pretty and I've never met one that I like .

Pluto30 · 03/01/2017 21:06

Prefer Juliet as a full name, but prefer Immy as a nickname. No help, I know.

I don't think either will inevitably be shortened though, so I'd still vote for Juliet.

Juliet

The potential NN 'Immy' really puts me off Imogen (although I like both 'Ginny' and 'Jenny').

DramaAlpaca · 03/01/2017 21:32

Juliet, as long as it's pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, ie not like Juliette.

If you'd be pronouncing it like Juliette I prefer Imogen.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/01/2017 22:07

Juliet.

talkshowhost97 · 03/01/2017 22:08

Juliet much nicer than Imogen.

However I think the exact opposite of dramaalpaca and prefer the French pronunciation with a soft J and emphasis on 'et' as though it were Juliette.

Noregretsatall · 03/01/2017 22:10

Imogen but then I'm biased.Wink

Raines100 · 03/01/2017 22:14

Juliet!

Glitterous · 03/01/2017 22:27

Juliet, I'm really not a fan of Imogen, much to my DP's dismay(!)
