Imogen?

Thoughts on Imogen? I really quite like it - pretty but not frilly. How many do you know? It doesn't seem too popular to me.

I love the name Imogen! It was on my shortlist for DD1 but we used a different name in the end. I don't know any personally, but there was a contestant called Imogen Thomas on Big Brother, years ago, who will probably be in her 30s now, and also a character in one of my favourite books as a child.

I'm not keen on Fern myself - it always sounds a bit glamour model somehow.

I love it, I know of two, someone in their early 20's and an 18 month old

I quite like it. I only know three, one is early 30s, 1 early 20s and 1 two year old

I have one so obviously I love it Smile

I definitely prefer Imogen to Fern.

I have a 6 day old called Imogen, so I like it Grin

Frlrlrubert · 15/06/2021 12:54

I like it. The ones I teach seem to go with 'Immy' as a nickname.

I do like it better than Fern.

ChubbyMsSunshine · 15/06/2021 15:29

Beautiful name.

FindingMeno · 15/06/2021 15:45

Love Imogen, and don't know any!

MadeOfStarStuff · 15/06/2021 16:07

Love it!

TatianaBis · 15/06/2021 16:13

Million miles better than Fern.

Fern could be middle name?

highlighteryellow · 15/06/2021 20:28

Really like it. I only know one, she is a toddler.

HR313 · 15/06/2021 21:43

I have one, so I’m biased! There is also one other Imogen at her nursery. Apart from that I’ve never known another Imogen and neither has my DH.

Vallmo47 · 15/06/2021 21:44

Imogen is elegant and timeless. Congratulations!

Love Imogen… was one of my favourites. But I went with Paige. I found both names are timeless, not very common (round here), but also a known name so not misspelt / pronounced.

Tillygetsit · 15/06/2021 22:51

I know a 14 year old Imogen. She's funny and very clever so I associate the name with her. Lovely.

Edenember · 16/06/2021 11:37

Beautiful name. Classic and timeless but not dull. Feminine but not frilly. Perfect choice

spagbog5 · 16/06/2021 11:51

I have a 22 year old Imogen and she is as wonderful as her name !
