Emily, Matilda or Imogen?

[MakingNameChoices]

Hi,

We are due DC2 (who looks to be a girl) in July and struggling to decide on a name choice. The three we keep coming back to are Emily, Matilda and Imogen. What are your thoughts? I'm wondering if I haven't thought of something related to one of them that might influence us towards/away from them or if I'll find myself subconsciously hoping one will win the poll DS is Jacob.

Thanks

Imogen is more unusual and lovely . All nice names

Like them all! I think Matilda is my favourite

Matilda is very popular. I'd go with Imogen.

I genuinely love all of those names! Don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.

I wanted Matilda for DD but it got vetoed by DH. DS would have been Imogen Hope if he’d been a DD, and Emily is always the name that pops in to my head when someone starts a “if you had to name a baby girl RIGHT NOW what would you call her?” thread on here.

Imogen or Emily. Voted Imogen as more unheard of. Not keen on Matilda

I have an Imogen so may be slightly bias! But it is a lovely name, and she is the only one in her nursery and tells me she loves her name.
All 3 are lovely.

Matilda is my favourite but I think all are great names.

My order of preference is Matilda, then Emily then Imogen last.

Imogen is my favourite - classic, classy and strong.

Matilda is nice, but I’m not a huge fan of Tilly for an adult.

Emily has been so commonly used for so many years that, although it’s a lovely classic, it now feels a bit bland to me unfortunately.

I have a Matilda so that gets my vote. Love, love, love it.

Do you prefer Matty, Immy, or Em, as these are the likely nicknames from friends.

I personally think Emily is more classic, the other two are very on trend just now. All are nice.

In order: Imogen, Emily, Matilda, but I don't like Immy or Tilly/Tilda, so Emily seems the easiest.

Imogen and Matilda are both lovely. I find Emily a bit twee,

Matilda is my favourite, followed by Imogen - both lovely!

Emily fine too

Emily. Matilda is ok but I don't like the nicknames. I don't like Imogen at all.

I like Imogen- lovely name.

I don't like Imogen at all. It's almost as bad as Margot.

Matilda's pretty.

Imogen - it’s getting quite popular so might overtake the other two, but not yet.

Margot is great

You little weirdo you

I like all of them, I have an Emily but Matilda was on our list too..just wanted to say though that for all that Emily is often said to me very over used in all her time at school she's never had another in her year of 60 kids.

I don't think it will. It doesn't have the mass appeal of the other two.
Babies called Imogen in England & Wales since 1996

All absolutely lovely. I didn't vote because I couldn't choose just one.

Matilda and Imogen were names I heard a lot of about ten years ago. I don’t like Matilda and I can’t stand Tillie. Emily is just a bit dull but the nicest of the three. Tbh they’re just generic overused girl’s names.

Emily (Em) Imogen (Immy). I’m not a Matty /Tilda Matilda fan.

I have 3 Imogens in one of my classes! I like Matilda.

Matilda is lovely, often shortened to Tilly. Imogen shortened to Immy and Emily shortened to Em or Emmy. All beautiful names.
