I've got two children already Albie (full name Albert) and Edie (Eden) and I'm expecting twins a boy and a girl. We've already decided to name the boy Otto and so I'd like to keep on the theme of vowel names and have fallen in love with the name Immy however I'm not keen on Imogen. Could we just name her Immy or is there any other suitable longer names?

Amberalla sounds like someone from London saying Umberella Grin

Mike, something tells me you're not taking this as seriously as some of the rest of us! Grin

I thought my Emmanuelle suggestion was a pretty name but someone said porn film. It's you not taking me seriously. Grin
I think Imogen is fine - I wouldn't choose it and I'm not keen on Immy, but lots of people like it.
Some of my suggestions were a little out there.
Emmanuelle could be a nice nod to M. MacRon.

Imodium?

I am of course in complete agreement with those saying 1974 is a not a long time ago. It seems like yesterday to me. I vividly remember the two elections and the miners' strikes, the three day week, electricity being switched off for eight hours at a time, homework done by candlelight, etc etc. The one thing I don't remember from 1974 is Emmanuelle, as I was still very young.

Here's a vivid memory from 1976. In the middle of the school day, a note was sent round to all classes at my school, summoning us to an impromptu whole school assembly. Unprecedented. We were all agog. What could it be? Had someone died? Had there been a huge natural disaster? Had the IRA bombed Leeds? Had someone left graffiti in the toilets of such obscenity that the perpetrator had to be discovered immediately and publicly expelled?

We filed into the hall. The headmistress strode onto the dais and announced that Harold Wilson had resigned as Prime Minister and James Callaghan was taking over. Then she strode off. What an anti-climax! Grin

I know an Ulric. It's a superb name.
There is also Urban, name of umpteen popes.
Or Undine/Ondine for a girl.

Otto is a brilliant name. You should use it.

Imara is a pretty name which could give the nickname Immy.

We have a Stella Ottilie, if Ottile would be considered for a boy! For immy, Emiline, Esme, Imogine, Kimberley
