Girls and Boy Choices

[HashBrown31]

Hi there,
we will probably have our baby in the next week and we don’t know the gender.
For a girl I am torn between Genevieve and Imogen - any preference between those?
For a boy, all we can agree on is Evan.
i find boys names a lot harder. Girls names are hard to whittle down as there are so many lovely ones to pick from, but I find boys so so much harder because I just don’t seem to like many at all. Hate a few, like even fewer and the rest are just ‘meh’.
Any thoughts on Evan please or suggestions of something which is similar but different?

Thanks

Imogen is preferable to my ear.

I don’t mind Evan but don’t love it.

Genevieve for a girl over Imogen.

Evan is nice but how about the irish equivalent of Eamon or Aiden or Ethan which all feel a bit stronger?

Imogen - simpler to say and spell and strong. Classy

Evan is grand - Ewan is also nice

Out of your girls I prefer Imogen, though I have a soft spot for the nn Ginny - not as in love with Genevieve personally.

I really like Evan for a boy, and the similar Euan. And Evander. I've not met a little Evan in years, its nice and ages well

Not keen on Evan, I knew one at school and he was a bully! I like Imogen best.

Imogen is lovely, personally I prefer Euan to Evan.

Evan is fine. (Only downside is there are lots of girls called Eva, which looks similar.I wouldn't let that put me off it.)

Not keen on Genevieve - the French pronunciation is nice but not the UK one). i don't like the diminutives.
Imogen is much nicer.

Imogen is lovely, I'm not a fan of Genevieve.
I like Evan, similar feel to me are Owen, Adam, Elliott, Ewan/Euan.

I prefer Genevieve slightly over Imogen. I like Evan. Other boys suggestions though suspect you’ve trawled through the lot

I prefer Imogen, Evan is lovely.

I love Imogen and Evan 😊

Imogen hands down. Genevieve is dated and Genny - dull.

Both Imogen and Genevieve are strong favourites of mine and I would find it hard to choose between them too. Genevieve has the advantage (for me) of being less popular, but both are amazing names!

Geneviève is lovely. I also really like Evangeline.

Evan is good!

I prefer Geneviève but only pronounced properly. I find Imogen very harsh.

Evan is not my taste but it’s ok as a name

Genevieve - I love it and underused

I find Imogen a wee bit ploddy, but nice enough - anyway it's getting v popular if that matters to you.

Evan is.. OK - it's v different (aka less high end) to your girl choices - Elijah, Sebastian, Tobias, Cassian, Nathaniel, Lucian, Rufus, Laurence, Rafe etc etc are all more what I'd expect Imogen or Genevieve's brother to be called

Genevieve over imogen

not a fan of Evan What about Edward?

I really like Genevieve and also like a pp's suggestion of Evangeline.

I'm not fond of Evan, but what about Ivor?

@theunbreakablecleopatrajones , it's not that popular. Baby name explorer

I love all pf your choices OP. What will you shorten the girls names to? I only know one Imogen and she goes by Imi.

Every Evan I’ve ever met has been absolutely lovely.
