Bonnie or Imogen

[mrsb00]

Which do you prefer? Bonnie wouldn’t be shortened i don’t think but Imogen would have NN Immy

I love both names but would prefer to be called Imogen. If however she was always to be called Immy, I think Bonnie is a better way to go.

I dislike imagen always have i just think its a harsh ugly sound due to this I would go for Bonnie I knew one when I was 9 and she had the happiest smile woild make you feel like everything could be conquered when she smiled.

Imogen by a country mile! Bonnie is a dog’s name.

Bonnie

Imogen is strange sound (to me)

Bonnie is a regional phrase and I have seen arguments about this on MN over the years

To most of the country it means attractive. But it was originally used for complimenting babies who look better with a bit of chub. So yes, in the NW and parts of the midlands, saying someone looks ‘bonny’ means ‘fat.’ Those who don’t live in this area deny this vigorously. But it is.

Bonnie!

Imogen is not a nice-sounding name, and Immy puts me in mind of a spoilt teen who goes to Bedales.

Imogen. Bonnie just doesn’t seem like a real name - it’s an adjective rather than a noun (bonny lass)

Imogen. I knew a Bonnie - she wasn't nice.

Imogen. My other boy calls our daughter Mimi!

I prefer Imogen, agree with pp. Bonnie is too twee.

Imogen is lovely.

Bonnie is cute for a toddler, but I don't think works as well when the DC is older.

Imogen

Bonnie

Imogen is a really nice name. Maybe because I'm Scottish but Bonnie as a name is just odd to me.

Imogen definitely. Maybe as I'm from Scotland though so I would associate Bonnie with people saying 'shes a bonnie wee lassie'
I dont think Bonnie is a name that grows with the person due to that x

Imogen is a goreous Shakespearean name.

Bonnie means pretty to me and it seems a bit childlike. I vote Imogen!

Gorgeous! Bad typo, definitely not gore-like!

What about Imogen Bonnie? Bonnie sounds lovely as a middle name 🙂

I prefer Bonnie

Imogen, don't like Bonnie at all sorry

I know an adult bonny.
Short for bonita.
I think she has Spanish heritage.
But she is always happy and smiley and well, bonny.
Bonita imogen?
I love imogen and Immy.
Only put off naming dd imogen due to a dodgy association in the past

Imogen

Bonnie. Don’t like Imogen and Imy has to be the most sickly twee NN around.

But don’t love either sorry....

Imogen no contest

I really don’t like Imogen. It just sounds unpleasant to me.

I don’t hate Bonnie but like others have said I don’t know that it would work as a teen or adult. I much prefer Connie.
