Imogen?

[circlesandquares]

What do you think of the name Imogen? Dh loves it! I think it's very pretty. Just wondering what general thoughts were. Also wondering what middle name would go with it?

It's usually very popular on these boards but I absolutely hate it. It's the very opposite of pretty imo...it's seems so ugly, clunky and frumpy to me. I appreciate I'll probably be in the minority though.

Not a name I would choose personally. It's quite popular, and all the ones I know are called Immy, rather than their full names, so something to consider.

Love the name. DH didn't so we have a Phoebe instead.

I used to like it. Then I met someone who's daughter got called "Immo" and it's put me right off 🙈

Awful. Really clunky

Love it! It's our choice for baby due in a few weeks.

I really like it. And can be Immy or Gen/Ginny? If you felt like shortening but I think it's beautiful as it is.

It’s a beautiful name. I have one, we call her Imo. Shakespearean, innit!

I find it harsh and unfeminine. Don't like it at all, sorry.

Immo isn't nice imo.

I think it is pretty. I think Katy in What Katy Did had a friend called Imogen, that’s what it makes me think of. The Imogen I know goes by Immy.

Beautiful

It's really pretty.

It's ok. It's Shakespearean.
Immy and Imo put me off it.
I would go for something like Louise as a middle name.

My 2nd fave girls name 💖

I can't believe that ppl find it frumpy and clunky. I think it's very pretty, feminine and strong

I’m another in the “ugly, clunky and frumpy” camp as regards Imogen, I’m afraid.

Reminds me of engine oil.

The one I know is called Midge, in Scotland. Unfortunate.

One of my absolute favourite names. Love it and not too cutesy like so many of the girls names nowerdays

For middle names how about

Mary
Edith
Emmy/Emma
Willa
Olive
Elodie
Maggie

@circlesandquares ?

Love all the nickname potentials - or just use it as it is

Perfect name

I have a one year old Imogen. Not my first choice to be honest but only one dp and I could agree on!

Honestly, it's a name I hate. There was a school at school called Imogen that was just irritating beyond belief and it's stuck with me. Then theres Imogen Thomas.

Names I think that are similar but softer
Evelyn
Isobel
Beatrix
Eleanor

Or if it's the Gen sound, how about Genevieve? Nn Ginny.

It's just "ok" for me certainly not terrible but dont love it either. Good luck with the search!

@circlesandquares I really like it

But if not how about

Delilah
Margaret (Maggie)
Bonnie
Victoria
