Is Imogen dull?

[hawkehurstgang]

Recently I love Imogen but a friend of mine told me she thinks it's a little 'posh and dull'.

I really like it.

Don't run baby names past anyone other than your partner unless you don't care about the negative comments - every name you come up with will get poopooed by someone!

I adore the name. Ran it by my friends, one liked, one hated, can't please all of the people.... I stopped running names by anyone except DH.

I think it's lovely.

This.

I think it's lovely. My children though both have classic names and I guess some people would think they're dull as they're not really out there.

Thank you for the replies! I think you're right about not telling anyone early, someone's always got something negative to say about any name! Do you think Imogen goes it go well with Reuben, my son's name?

I really like it, a good child and adult name.

Love it and would use it if my partner would let me!

If Imogen is dull, what would interesting look like?

Claire is dull.

I love Imogen but I'll never get over that episode of One Born where the gormless father was reading a baby names book and read 'Immodium' instead...but every name can be spoilt in that way.

It does go with Reuben but you must have a very versatile surname to go with both in terms of rhythm.

Gorgeous name and the two names go really nicely together

Imogen is one of my favourite names. I am a teacher and all those I have taught have been lovely! Some have the nickname Immy which is also lovely.

Our imogen is feisty, strong-willed and independent. Not dull at all!

At home, she's our Midge (but Immy at school ).

It’s a nice name. I actually prefer more classic names and think names like Rueben or Imogen are a lot nicer than more out there names which.

Not at all dull. I would’ve chosen it if DH hadn’t been an idiot! It’s really pretty.

It's okay but my kids all have multiple imogens in their classes at school, so I've heard the name too much in the past few years tbh. I might just live in an imogen bubble though.

I really love the name Imogen - it's not dull at all. And I think it goes really well with Reuben. They are both gorgeous names.

Immy is really sweet for a little girl, and Imogen is such a beautiful, dignified name for an adult.

I have an Imogen. She's nearly 8 and her current bff is an Isabel so they are Immy and Izzy

Lovely combo with Reuben.

Mine is the only one in a year of 60 kids!

I don't like it.
But if you do then go for it.

What else do you like op?

No it's beautiful.
One of my favourite names.

Beautiful name and currently top of my list. It seems like a bit of a marmite name, so doubt it will ever be super popular. It's currently dropping in the charts. I like it's Shakespearean and Celtic links. It's a pretty name without being too frilly or cutesy, like a lot of popular names at the moment. It feels quite timeless to me and will suit all ages.

No, love it.

What kind of names does your friend like?

It’s a beautiful name. It is quite popular. Along with Matilda it’s the most popular name at our primary school. It’s popular for a good reason.

I love Imogen. It's got the same vibe as Felicity which I also love.
It goes great with Reuben.

We've got an Imogen and we call her Mim. I really suits her!
