Tamsin or Imogen

[HeinzSight]

We need to decide v soon!! Or any other suggestions

Tamsin.

[bellissima]

Was a girl in my year at primary school (many MANY years ago) called Charmian Tamsin. Known as Tammy. And I was unbelievably jealous - it was so glamorous.

[jemart]

I don't know about being chavvy, but reckon Tamsin is right up there with Tamara and Tarquin.

Imogen is very pretty, some nice nicknames derived from this - Immy, Mimi, Midge, Jenny.

[seeker]

Because people will think you can'[t spell Imogen, and also because you are condemning your child to a lifetime of saying "No, it's Innogen, not Imogen"

[GrendelsMum]

Why not Innogen instead? There's an argument that Imogen in Shakespeare's play Cymbeline is in fact Innogen.







On the other hand, Innogen is not actually a very nice name.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Imogen.

[logi]

imogen is lovely

[ohnelly]

Tamsin even

[ohnelly]

Imogen is lovely, im considering that if I have a girl this time. Dont like Tasmin though at all

[MrsBarbaraKingstanding]

What are your boys names?

[MrsBarbaraKingstanding]

Tamsin.

(notice how many poele on this threas have an Imogen or want an Imogen)

[Arcadie]

Tamsin - please Tamsin. We have an Imogen who we thought we were being terribly original for having only ever heard of Imogen Stubbs the actress. Now every third girl everywhere is Imogen...

Tamzin is a lovely name. And Tam is quite a cool short.

She'd have to have long plaits and a pony called Cascade, though!

[zazen]

We nearly had a Tamsin. But when she was born, she didn't look like one, even less so like a Tammy. So as I was filling out the form I chickened out putting it first.

Tam isn't too bad as an abbreviation, but Tammy...

I quite like Imogen - I know a few 'Imo's.

Sometimes it's best to see what your young un looks like, then decide..
Good luck with the birth etc

[JeanLouiseFinch]

Imogen is top of my list. Also like Tamsin

[Raahh]

Both of these were names I would have had for DD. Imogen is still my fantasy "will never happen, sorry dh!" name. We liked the idea of a nn Imp! Never considered Tamsin remotely 'c' wordy- but then to me Tamsin, is Tamsin Greig (fantastic actress from Black books and Love Soup), which is a great thing, imo.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

I am a Tamsin (I am sniggering at the 'chav' comments) and no one has ever called me Tammy...

...well, not twice anyway. Maybe I'm just a bit fierce!

[HerHonesty]

not tamsin. she will get called tammy the tampax.

[123jenna321]

tamsin but i prefer it spelt like this: Tamzin. no offence but i think Imogen is an ugly sounding name.

[Loulou73]

Definately bias toward Imogen as that is DD's name, she is almost 8. The only other one that I know of is the year below at school.

We call our Imogen Mo or Mojo and of course Imogen. Her friends call her Imo which she doesn't like and has now decided that she wants to be called Jen! The other Imogen is known as Jo.

[sunnylabsmum]

i have an imogen aged 6. the only other one we have met happened to be in her very first class. i chose ut because i think it is a name she will grow into and as a teacher it would be easier to learn to write than anything with an s in it. she is called im or 'migin' which was a friends childs attenpt at the name.

[boodleboot]

I know a lovely tamsin but i don't really like the name if honest. I do like Tansy tho which is similar....Imogen is nice - i like Gen {jen} as NN...

[NoFitState]

We had our Imogen 3 weeks ago. Never met another one! And all our friends love it. Were on the south coast so not popular here.

[Thunderduck]

Imogen.
