Florence or Imogen? 🤔

[Torithevictory]

Hi,
we like both, both work well with our surname. Curious if there is an obvious standout between the two ☺️

thanks so much x

For me it's Imogen, such a classy name, I'm not a fan of Florence at all but that's just me

My dearly departed nanna was a Florence and hated being called Flo. It reminds me more of Florence and the Machine nowadays though. I'd pick Imogen.

I really like both, but went with Florence!

Imogen. Florence is overused and Flo is not nice.

Florence 100%

Imogen is so clunky and dated

I would go with Imogen purely because my DC's infant school is full of variations of Florence at the moment (Floss, Flossy, Flo)

We had both on our list but ended up with two boys. We decided on Imogen because I didn't like Flo or Floss as a NN. Never got to use it though!

Florence. I know it's an old-lady name but I love it. Imogen seems 1980s to me.

Florence

4 girls called Florence in my daughter’s year (age 7) so over 10% of the year group are called Florence! No Imogens.

Based on the above anecdata, I’d opt for Imogen. 🙂

Ah ok Florence seems super popular.

i would never think of Imogen as dated

Both beautiful names

Imogen

Imogen is beautiful.

That's a really difficult choice. Both are gorgeous.

I slightly prefer Florence, I think, but personally I'd have to choose Imogen as it goes with my surname.

Don’t like either to be honest
I think Imogen is hard and Florence (and it’s NNs) the complete opposite … wet 🥴

Florence by a mile. Flora/ Florrie nickname. Imogen is nice enough but dislike Immy nickname.

I don’t like either name.

Persephone

Pandora

Phoebe

Imogen

I love both those names. Florence doesn't have to be Flo, I had a great-aunt whose shortened version was Florrie.

I’m not a huge fan of either. When my DS was born I felt like every girl was either a Florence or an Imogen. They’re both really popular so they’re much of a muchness tbh.

I guess I know more Florence’s than Imogen’s.

I love both. Some people refer to periods as aunt flo though. So that has always put me off Florence.

I love Imogen - one of my favourite names! It’s one of those classy names that’s not dated to any particular decade. It suits all ages and Immy is gorgeous as a nn too.

Florence is nice too but it’s definitely having a moment, and it remains to be seen how well it will date.

Was Flimojim suggested on the other thread?
