Imogen, Esther or Winter?

[Orangestarfish]

A bit stuck for names for DD3. Opinions on the following please -

Imogen
Esther
Winter

Or other suggestions. Thanks.

Winter as a middle name maybe (if born in winter!)
I’ve always liked the name Autumn.
And the season.

Imogen - no, a really ugly clunky sounding name to my ears.

Esther - yes, not my favourite name in the world, but it is nice.

Winter - yes but only for a December/January/February baby.

Esther is my favourite.

Imogen is okay.

I don't normally like 'out there' names but I quite like Winter. I'm not sure if I would want to be called Winter myself, though. It would work as a middle name for Imogen.

Imogen - Bland and a bit wishy washy

Esther - Really dislike, like a PP said, it's hissy and the 'sth' sound reminds me of asthma, sorry

Winter - I like this one, it's cute and her nickname could be Winnie 😊

I hate winter so that would be a no for me.

There was a little girl called winter in my son's playgroup. It's a ridiculous name. Ridiculous. Felt so sorry for the poor girl, thinking about all the "winter is coming" jokes she'll be subject to in secondary school.

Esther is not....bad, but I can't imagine looking at my newborn baby and giving her a name better suited to an old lady with a passion for very red lipstick.

Imogen is beautiful.

Imogen.
I would only call a child Winter of they were born in the Winter. I feel the same about the name Summer.

Winter is the best if those three

I find the hatred for Winter quite amusing - I just don't see how it's so ridiculous when Summer or April are fine, it's just unfamiliar

The GoT thing did cross my mind. I think that it's a reference that adults today would pick up on, but teenagers in over 10 years' time? Unlikely I'd say - I just don't see it having the same cultural impact, especially not with that age group - there will be some other far cooler tv programme around, and what grown adult is going to make 'Winter is coming' jokes about a teenage girl?

I like imogen best by miles
Imogen has been falling in the charts for years too, about to leave top 50 and will soon be outside top 100. I actually think Winter will overtake it in the coming years. A good time to pick name Imogen

Tbh I wouldn't worry about the GoT link at all. The TV show fucked the finale so bad, it's totally dropped off the cultural radar and George RR Martin will probably never finish another novel. Should be safe enough in that regard.

I also detest Autumn, Summer, Wren etc. I think they will sound very dated soon.
Esther though, classically beautiful. I think of the lovely Esther in Bleak House.

I know an (adult) winter but he's an American man. It does suit him. It would probably raise a few eyebrows but it's not so crazy that it's unusable! I think it's quite nice, really.

I do love Imogen too, I like Ginny as a nickname.

Imogen - lovely

Esther - a bit plain

Winter - awful, sorry OP (and I feel the same about Summer et al if that's any comfort)

We have an Esther and we adore her name. Her older sister nicknames her Esti which is also sweet

@polkadotpixie I don't think you know how to pronounce Esther. There's no "sth" sound. It's Ess-ter

Winter seems to getting over popular now, I've seen it quite a lot. Also wynter, I don't quite understand why anyone spells it that way to be honest, but that's just my opinion.

I mogen is lovely, but Esther is a timeless name too.

Either Esther or Winter. Imogen is just...meh.

@YukoandHiro I do know how to pronounce Esther, I should have said the 'sth' spelling reminds me of asthma, not sound

Most definitely Imogen! I don't like Esther, at all, sorry!

I don't mind Winter, but I think it's the sort of name someone could quite easily resent being given!

Definitely Imogen

Love Imogen, Esther is nice, don’t like Winter at all

Imogen is a nice name but I’ve taught loads of them so it seems really boring and dated now.

Esther is nice too.

I really like Winter actually!

Imogen by miles. Esther is ugly and a compound made from an acid, Winter is naff.
