Imogen

Imogen, lovely name.

Esme is nice pronounced ez-mee, but I really don't like the ez-may pronunciation.

Esmé.

Hard to choose but probably Imogen.

Esme

Imogen, lovely classic name and I like Immy as a nickname.

I feel you may have pronunciation problems with Esme.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 28/04/2019 23:54

Probably imogen for me! As above I like esme pronounced es-mee but everyone seems to be pronouncing it es-may these days which I really dont like!

Argeles · 28/04/2019 23:58

Esmé.

Both are quite pretty but both are extremely popular right now - loads of them around.

Both but Esme is gaining popularity fast.

Shadow1234 · 29/04/2019 00:39

Well i really like both, so that doesn't help!

Imogen, beautiful name!

Esmé

Imogen is harsh and unfeminine imo
