I like Winter. I also like Emerald and Cherry type names. Esther is the name Sylvia Plath uses in The Bell Jar. Magenta is a nicer sound than Imogen imo, I also like Jenny, (the gen sound) if you like the I at the start of the name have you thoght of Ione? I also like Agnetha (silent g and th pronounced t - annyetta)

No way

Esther is my favorite of the three, but I like all of them!

Imogen is ok. For the other two you have to think of nicknames that may be used, I knew an Esther who went by Essie, some what cute but you know. The same applies to Winter, I think Winnie is an inevitable nickname. NB i'm not too much of a fan of either name, just my two peace worth.

I have an Esther, it’s such a timeless name and I can’t imagine her being called anything else. She’s only 2 so not developed a nickname yet but imagine it will be Essie when she’s older if she wants.
I love Winter but DP would veto it as being “out there” sadly
I really dislike Imogen, I’m not really sure why. It’s just abit forgettable.

I love winter as a name. I cant stand imogen
Esther is meh for me so of that list 100% winter.

Esther is beautiful.

I like Winter and the meaning is a plus.

I've never understood why Imogen is a nice sound but maybe that's me. It's in the Harriet bracket for me- very studious sounding.

I like Imogen though it's not a popular name where I live and never met one before so it doesn't seem dated to me as some others have said.

I like Winter although I don't think I'd be brave enough to use it. Also I think it wouldn't flow well with my surname. I suppose as well you could have the nickname Winnie which is cute.
