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

I like Imogen best, it's slightly less popular and I like Immie

Matilda is nice but everywhere in my area and I'm not keen of Tilly

Emily is nice enough too, they are all pretty names, but I just find it a bit meh. I prefer Emmeline, it's more interesting

Another vote for Imogen!

(DD was in a class with three Matildas)

I think Imogen . Matilda and especially Emily are very popular names.

All three are lovely and go well with Jacob but Imogen is my favourite. I also like Matilda but not sure if I can picture an adult Matilda, possibly because the image of Matilda in my head is based in the Roald Dahl adaptation of the book. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though.

I have an Imogen and I bloody love it!

I like Imogen the best. Matilda always feels a bit matronly to me, and Emily is just a bit bland.

Imogen or Matilda, both were on my list but vetoed by DH. Emily feels a little dull to me but can’t put my finger on why as it’s a perfectly nice name. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.

I have an Emily and an Imogen, love Matilda as well would have been in the running if I have had another girl. 💖

I really love Imogen

Thanks all. It looks like Imogen is the most popular overall, which was my suggestion but DH is a bit more mixed on. I think my only concern is pronunciation- I naturally pronounce it as “Imm-uh-jin” but I don’t know whether others would pronounce the last syllable more as ‘jen’, if that makes sense (probably not!).
