#1 is Imogen, #2 is... (girl)... ? Help!

[AmeliaR]

Our 3 year old is called Imogen. Have a list of names for the one on the way (only a few weeks to go!!)... which do you prefer...

Maddie
Isobel
Lara
Susannah

Which is your favourite?

Oh, am expecting number 3 any minute and my husband and I were just today saying how much we liked Imogen. And we have a Lara already.

I really like Lara (obviously) and also Maddie. Like Isobel too, but there are loads and loads and loads of them round here.

No way!?!!! That's such a coincidence. Maybe it's fate then and I should choose Lara

I think Isobel is a little close to Imogen, maybe? Maddie I'm not keen on, I'd go for Lara or Susannah, my favorite being Susannah

Good luck with the birth!!

Susannah is lovely.

Lara is nice but I prefer Clara.

Lara is gorgeous....as is Susannah...

lara for sure!

imogen is on my list oif names for number 4 due in a few weeks.

my sisters dd is lara and its a lvoely name.

I'd go for Susannah/Susie
or Leonora/Lara

I think Lara is too modest next to Imogen. dykwim? Leonora and Imogen better matched.

Isobel would be too Miss I XXXXXs. Very popular too. Maddie just not keen.

Sidge, yes, Clara. Clara and Imogen go better too.

Oh Susannah - it is soooo lovely and underused and Susie is really cute on a lo!

Looks like Lara is becoming a favourite!!

Hadn't thought of Susie. Now you've got me thinking. Will run that by the DH

When I looked I thought it needed a 3 syllable name like (only cos it was the first one I thought of) Allegra- but not nec. Allegra. Anyway Susannah fits perfectly is what I'm trying to say

I always wanted a Lara or Clara (much prefer to Claire), but I love Susannah too. There are too many Isobels and Isabellas. Plenty of Maddies where I live too.

I think Lara is very pretty, timeless, and not over-used or trendy.

Maddie OK
Isobel Far far too popular
Lara fab name
Susannah OK but not keen on Sue/Susie

I like Lara best, like Cara also.

Isobel is lovely but doesn't go with Imogen

Maddie is lovely, my favourite
Lara is lovely too
Don;t like Susannah

Imogen and Lara sound beautiful together. As do Imogen and Leonora.

Don't like Susannah personally.

Imogen and Isobel - too popular and too many Is.

Imogen and Maddie I don't like but Imogen and Madeleine are fine. I suppose it depends if you shorten your Imogen to Immie and then have Immie and Maddie...

I've always liked Lara because of Doctor Zhivago connection - she was actually Larissa if you would like a longer version of the name which is also a lovely name.

Loads of great thoughts above, thank you everyone. I think Lara is up there at the number 1 spot for us now. Will let you know what we decide when she's finally here

I have friends with a Lara and Imogen, too
was going to say Larissa as well though prefer Lara

Imogen and Susan

Lara

All beautiful names.

My favourites are Susannah and Isobel. Athough as you already have an Imogen it would perhaps be best to avoid having 2 kids with the same initial? Susannah had the advantage of having lots of possible short forms, Susan, Susy, Suky (really cute for a little one) or Sue.

Lara is very nice though.

As is Maddie although I would officially name her Madeleine so she can have the choice when she's a High Court Judge - but let her be known informally as Maddie/Maddy.
There is a sad connecton though of course (McCann).
