Imogen

[Turtletrain]

Thoughts on Imogen?
I’ve loved it as a name since I first heard it and I’ve never met one - although think it’s a bit more popular over the last few years, but I don’t think it’s ever been SUPER popular?

I like it.

The only one I know is in her 30s so it can't be all that common. Think it's one of those names that holds steady rather than has massive leaps in popularity.

It's no. 91 in the top 100.

It's fine. Classic and inoffensive shakespearean name.
It will get shortened to Immy though, if that's an issue

It was #52 in England and Wales last year. it peaked at #26 in 2010 and has been in the top hundred for around thirty years. It's a nice enough name, if a little dull sounding to me. I really don't like the nickname Immy though.

Lovely name with lots of different nickname potentials if you wanted.

The name has been falling in the charts for years so a good time to pick it. Here's the graph of the official statistics 📉:

I like it. Classic and doesn't date.
I know one in her 50s and another who's about 10. Suits them both.

I'm not enamoured with it, something about the consonants in the middle don't work sonically for me. But I knew one nicknames Momo and I thought it was really cute/cool, she is early twenties.

I love it. I know one in her 50s, one age 14 and one age 6.

I am a teacher and Imogen has such positive vibes to me . All the Imogens I have ever taught have been lovely . I currently teach 4 Imogen’s between the ages of 12 -16 . None of them shorten it .

Beautiful name

Beautiful

I like it, The one I knew outgrew Immy and is now known as Gen ( Jen)

Love it. I know an Imogen who goes by Ginny which I thought was unusual

I really like it

I’m biased because I have one. Haven’t met another in the 2 years she’s been alive under 30! I only know one other via work

I think it’s beautiful. We do use Immie for a nick name but a friend has a friend called Imogen and she’s nicked names Imo apparently

It’s a classic that is always around, but never super popular.

I know quite a few, ranging in age from 18 down to 6. None shorten to Immy. One is Ginny, another Jen, another one is Midge. The others are all Imogen.

It’s a really lovely name.

I love it, it was on our shortlist for DD.

We have a Imogen who is 5 months old, so we like it

I love it. I know 3, 2 are in their 30s and one is 12. It's such a pretty name

Love it! I know one in her late twenties, a couple aged 17 ish, a 12-yr-old and a couple in their 40s. Nicknames include Immy, Mo, Immo, Jen and Jenny.

I like the soft sounds but definite ending i.e. it doesn't end with an 'uh' or 'ee' sound that so many girls names do. Other names in a similar vein include Rachel, Miriam, Edith, Helen, Bethan, Ruth, Ellen, Eloise...

I actually hate it. It's not a nice sounding name. It always reminds me of biotech company.

I really like it.

Love that name, don't know any and I think it's the perfect time to use it.

I love it. I've only met a handful of them, and no little Imogens in a long while.

It fits with current names by being quite vowel heavy, but pleasingly doesn't end with a vowel.

I'm never sure if it works with our surname, which also ends -en, but I'm tempted!

I love it, so beautiful. Immy isn't a foregone conclusion; I know one who is a Mo, and Gen/Ginny works too. As with any nickname, the trick if you want to avoid a particular shortening is to introduce an alternative from the get-go, use it relentlessly and most importantly, teach her to correct people who don't use it!

I think it's beautiful. But I'm biased as it's my daughter's name :) She's mid 20, goes by Immi and loves her name - both the king and the short versions.
