I really like both however Imogen is more main stream and Autumn is a bit quirkier. Depends which way you want to go.

Imogen...

I think its a more timeless name, Autumn is more 'fashionable' as its in and out of fashion so maybe great now but eye rolling by the time she's a teenager!

Iamnotacerealkiller · 07/09/2019 12:06

oooo Autumn's gorgeous, im stealing for my list. My husband will veto it im sure though...

Me2you3 · 07/09/2019 12:07

Autumn is lovely

milliefiori · 07/09/2019 12:08

Definitely Imogen. It's a prettier sound and it's a girl's name in its own right not a noun that's been seconded.

Thanks ladies for all your replies Smile

I totally agree that imogen is more mainstream and timeless and Autumn is more quirky.
My husband and I love both.
Still can't decide x

I prefer the connotations of Autumn and the fact it’s more unusual.
But I think Imogen sounds nicer although I’m not keen on it

user1493494961 · 07/09/2019 12:14

Imogen is very classy.

Frith2013 · 07/09/2019 12:15

Imogen.

alltummy · 07/09/2019 12:16

I prefer Autumn. I know a few ranging from 30 down to newborn so I don't think it's a particular 'fashionable' name. I don't dislike Imogen though but I don't think it sounds as nice.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how well received both names have been x

I like both

Sunflower160 · 07/09/2019 17:28

LOVE both. But I think Imogen is a beautiful, classy name that’s less likely to date. So I would pick Imogen.

DramaAlpaca · 07/09/2019 17:36

Imogen

EmmaGrundyForPM · 07/09/2019 17:40

Imogen. Ds2 was going to be imagine if he was a girl.

I don't really like the name Autumn.

But at the end of the day, it's your baby so call her what you want.

Sadbadglad · 07/09/2019 17:44

Both are lovely but Imogen wins

RickOShay · 07/09/2019 17:46

Definitely Autumn. There’s something not quite right about Imogen imho.

Mintypea5 · 07/09/2019 17:47

Imogen (our baby girls being called this when she arrives)

Autumn is also lovely. I know a couple in DS1 year at school.
