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

why comment if you don’t like either?

Love Imogen
Not a fan of Florence mainly because I'm not so keen on the common nicknames - Flo, Florrie, Flora

I like both, probably Imogen better

Imogen is beautiful.

Florence is popular, but I find it a bit stodgy and don't like any of the short forms (Flo, Florrie, Flossie, all a bit Victorian kitchen maid and jokey somehow).

I love them both. Work with a girl with a Florence who gets called Flossy.

Florence. Imogen is nice- but there’s a chance people will call her Immy which is awful.

Prefer Florence over Imogen, which I really dislike. It’s such a clunky sounding name (imo). I know a few of both (teens).

Imogen. have you considered Jimogen?

Both lovely names

Both great names but I like Imogen a tiny bit more.

I have an Imogen, I love her name. I don't mind Immy as a nickname, but we've just fallen in the habit of using her full name. Same with our eldest, there are plenty of nickname options for her name, but we've always used her full name.

I’m biased as my daughter is called Imogen/Immy. ☺️love love her name obviously.

Imogen. Florence is a beautiful name but the nn for it are all awful. I love both Imogen and Immy.

Florence is lovely. Imogen isn't

Much prefer Imogen

Imogen. Florence feels old lady

I prefer Florence, mostly because I prefer the nicknames for it. Personally I think Immy is dreadful and all but one young Imogen I know goes by Immy. Both are popular names, and maybe it’s just a me thing but I know far more Imogens than Florences - which probably makes the name feel a bit fresher to me.

Have you considered Astrid or Ingrid? Nicer than Imogen, and there aren't as many around.

I love Florence.

No they really aren't. Ingrid in particular has a very harsh sound. Don't mind Astrid, but Imogen is much nicer.

Um, I think they are. OK? I think Imogen has an ugly look and sound. I know both an Astrid and an Ingrid. My friend Ingrid is super cool. So I'm entitled to my opinions and have my reasons for them The OP is entitled to ignore them. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I like the name Imogen. Forence is OK (although super popular where I live) but I just don't like 'Flo'.

I prefer Florence but Imogen is also nice. The one I know (mid 30s) goes by Imo rather than Immy, or when we were younger she was occasionally Modge. Mostly gets her full name though.

You can also get Jenny from Imogen. Or spelled Genny I suppose.

I knew a Flossie years ago. Love it.
