Mabel or Imogen?

[ByOliveDreamer]

Our baby girl is due at the end of the month and we are still undecided! Our daughter is Phoebe Elizabeth.
We are thinking Imogen Charlotte or Mabel Alice. What do you think? Or offer any other suggestions!

Both beautiful!

I like Mabel!

I don't like Mabel and Mabel Alice has too many Ls.
Imogen and Alice are nice.

Imogen - particularly if you can swing Ginny as a NN over immi.

Mabel is the name of choice for dogs round here though, I know 8, which is probably skewing my choice.

Imogen gets my vote, it’s my dd name, her nn is Midge which has developed over the years.

No to Immi
Mabel sounds granny

Imogen is fab. Hate Mabel.

Imogen with Mabel as a second name as you like it too.

I do like Mabel a lot, it's having a popular moment I think - but I've always liked Imogen.

personally i’d go for Imogen… only because Mabel was always a dogs name for me growing up until DD’s best friend in primary was called Mabel and she isn’t the most
pleasant of 6 year old girls.

Both absolutely gorgeous names but I do love Mabel Alice!

Imogen goes so well with Phoebe they are practically the same name in my head! (In a good way). And Charlotte and Elizabeth have the same current royal reference. So Imogen Charlotte is a perfect match.

Mabel

I have a Phoebe Elizabeth too 😊 and my other daughter is an Imogen. Which I love today as much as when we named her over a decade ago. We thought about using Charlotte too but a close friend used that just before we could - Imogen Charlotte sounds lovely!
Our Imogen has become Imy over the years, we initially thought she would be a midge but it didn’t stick and she likes Imy. She’s been a Jimjam on the way too! She also uses just Imogen.
Although I thought both Phoebe and Imogen would be popular names, we’ve met very few (South East but not London).

My DD(aughter) is Imogen. My DD(og) is Mabel. Make of that what you will!!

Well my 28 year old DD is Imogen, so Imogen all the way.
There was a brief spell during primary where her friends tried 'Immie'.
It didn't stick, thank goodness. For me. Imogen is a plump, luxurious name, Immie, for me, is the opposite, a bit thin and mean-sounding, a bit 'squeaky'.

Mabel is horrid. Sorry.

Mabel Alice 100%

I find Imogen really clunky.

Imogen

Goes well with Phoebe

Mabel, Imogen was hugely popular about ten years ago and became boring.

I think Imogen comes from Shakespeare's 'Cymbeline'.

Mabel is miles better than Imogen.

My DD is also Imogen so my vote is for that but Mabel is also classic and timeless.

Imogen or Alice and not Mabel.

I have an Imogen so that's obviously my fave, but I do like Mabel too. Our Imogen usually goes by full name or sometimes shortened to Gin or occasionally Imo, never Immy so far! We've only ever come across one other in 5 years from all nursery, preschool, baby and toddler classes and school, so it don't seem to be too popular where I am.

Imogen Charlotte sounds lovely with Phoebe Elizabeth.
