Imogen, Naomi, Hannah or Laura?

[LouLou99]

any votes / associations? DS is Samuel (Sam).

Definitely not NeighOhMeee, it is a horrible name IMHO

Love the other names though

Laura - deffo

Imogen definitely - it makes me think of the Jilly Cooper novels - she'll grow up to be a romantic heroine

Naomi
Hannah
Imogen
Laura

Good luck choosing!

I like them all but in order it is:
Hannah
Laura
Naomi
Imogen

disagree that Imogen is very "now". I am 27 and know a few Imogens my age.

FWIW, I would say:

Imogen
Laura
Hannah

and then last (and very least) Naomi, which I don't like at all.

Samuel and Imogen

Laura

Another vote for Imogen here

bamboostalks - you are so right about Naomi - its my best friends name and she is v clever, I love the name and would use it but she'd get a big head

laura is nice - like lorna better
hate Imogen but went to school with one and she was horrid, and it gets shortened to Immie which is horrible too
Hannah is lovely

have to choose hannah as top as thats DD1s name..we also had samuel picked if dd2 had been ds2
Imogen is lovely aswell

not Imogen

but the others are all excellent [round of applause]

NB those who are saying some are too 'ordinary', how many babies named them do you know? IME there is a heaving sea of Millies Lilys Amelias Mias and Laylas and Naomi and Hannah are the unusual ones...

So glad to see some more votes for Naomi - what a pity that skinny old mongrel has ruined the name for so many people...yes, you know which Naomi I'm referring to!

I've always loved the name. Then I forgot about it. Then I re-read a book by Naomi Mitchison on the day on which I later went on to give birth. It's a lovely name.

Naomi is lovely and underused.

About the shortenings - at least with Imogen you can have an "Immie" or an "Imo" or "Mimi" or other variations.

Hannah will be "Han" (or "An" or "Nan" depending on where you live),

Naomi will become the utterly hideous "Neigh"

And Laura can become "Lol" or "Lou".

Go with Imogen, beautiful name!

Nine Years, I can beat you on Naomi - if you say it 'Nigh-omi' then the shortened version sounds like a Kiwi saying 'No'!

Well, it amused me anyway. I think I need some sleep.

Naomi,is classic and from the bible, just in case anyone thought it was a made up name. Also translated it mean 'pleasant'. And they are. So much nicer that Laura and Hannah.

I always said if I had a DD she would be JoHanna, (spent a lot if time in South Africa) however when it came to it I went off it.

Imogen

Also, its imoan backwards take that how you like!!!

I like Naomi the least but don't know why.

Imogen is my fave but Hannah and Laura are 2 classic timeless names.

Eve! Stop it! What about your name backwards, then, huh? it spells - oh, err...ahem.

Sorry, but Naomi is my DD's name that I chose and plenty of people have pointed out what it spells backwards. To all you feckers that hate it two fingers!!. OK everyone is entitled to their opinions but I hate you all.

Bet your DD's have a chav name.

My DDs are called Thumbelle (cause she's really short) and Colatella (cause it's my favourite drink). Awrigh'?
