I've always loved Jasmine - Jasmine Eliza is my fav

Meandthesky · 14/03/2022 11:28

I really love Imogen

TatianaBis · 14/03/2022 11:31

Imogen Jasmine?

bloominglovelyorange · 14/03/2022 11:48

Imogen!

Itsnotover · 14/03/2022 11:49

Jasmine

Itsnotover · 14/03/2022 11:50

You need to also think about nicknames. Every Imogen I know is known as ‘Immi’

Westfacing · 14/03/2022 11:53

I knew a 90-something Imogen - nickname from childhood, Moggie! 😻

JungleJimbo · 14/03/2022 11:55

Jasmine Eliza

Snowbell99 · 14/03/2022 11:58

Jasmine

Imogen has more history but I dislike the sound.

Scarlett is unattractive "harlot" and "scar"

TatianaBis · 14/03/2022 12:11

The Imogens I know are Mimi and Imo.

ISmellBurnings · 14/03/2022 12:13

Jasmine because Imogen is so popular.

Not keen on Mae as it’s one of the filler names for girls currently along with Rose and Grace. It’s overused.

How about Jasmine Elise? Or Elizabeth.

FayCarew · 14/03/2022 13:11

Imogen Lilly - ok if it you spell it Lily
Imogen Mae - Mae is awful
Imogen Esme - not keen on Esme
Jasmine Ada - don't like Ada
Jasmine Mae - May is a filler middle name
Jasmine Eliza - Jasmine Elizabeth is muchh nicer

Haha thanks all - seems to have split the room 50/50!

I was leaning Imogen - to me it’s quite a sophisticated, grown up name which I like. I was worried that Jasmine is a bit dated, so really interested so many people like it! Now I’m totally confused lol.

Still have 10 weeks to go so plenty of time to decide!!

I like both.

A pp said Imogen was really popular but I've only ever come across one in real life whereas I went to school with 4 Jasmines (I'm in my late 20s) so Jasmine seems more common to me.

I have to say I don't think any of your middle names flow that well with them but middle names aren't often used so that probably doesn't really matter Smile

Honey2 · 14/03/2022 18:15

@Bangendedscoots hit me with some middle name suggestions 😆

I really like Imogen.

Roselilly36 · 14/03/2022 18:59

Imogen, beautiful name. I also like Jasmine, but that is very popular now. Scarlett is ok, but least favourite out of the three.

mangodreams · 14/03/2022 19:03

Love Scarlett
Imogen nice
Not so keen on Jasmine

bloominglovelyorange · 14/03/2022 19:31

If popularity is a factor @Honey2 then both names are falling rapidly 📉 📉📉📉in the charts so would be a PERFECT time to pick either Imogen or Jasmine as neither are trending upwards and about to explode. I prefer Imogen by a mile, much classier, but both are lovely.

Here's where you can see graphs of the official statistics

Imogen for me. I'd go for a middle name with fewer syllables so Eliza would be out.
Any family names you'd like to include?

TenoringBehind · 14/03/2022 20:19

Imogen

Honey2 · 14/03/2022 20:38

@PortalooSunset No we decided not to do family names for our kids (this DD will be no.4) middle names of the others have meaning like a friend we lost, a thai name as thats where partner and I met etc... this time we are going to narrow down to 3 names then let our existing children vote for their favourite! lol we dare not let them loose with the first name.

So really I just need three names that go ok with Imogen and or Jasmine. So the kids cant get it too wrong!!

@bloominglovelyorange popularity is a factor - I definitely dont want her to be one of 4 in the same class, however I'm equally not looking for the only one in the whole school type name. I've looked up and I think Imogen ranks about 50 and Jasmine 70 something and that's fine by me... thanks for the link. Great that it also does middle names!

Jasmine

But Imogen is fine

rebekuh · 14/03/2022 20:45
