Hi everyone!

We're pretty set on the name Imogen (not to be confused with Imogene) for our daughter. I'm just curious on your opinion of this name and suggestions for middle names.

Thanks!

Never have liked the name much, it doesnt seem very feminine to me (although i know it isnt unisex or anything...) A lot of people think it's quite unusual, but it's my cousins name so i've grown up with it. My cousin is a little chubby and annoying.. so thats probably why i don't care for it much!

I'd go for a really girly middle name:
Imogen Rose
Imogen Kasia
Imogen Olivia

I had never heard it until a few years ago in the movie Down To You and I fell in love with it. A lot of people don't like it but I keep going back to it.

I like those suggestions, thanks!

yeah that was the first thing I thought of when you said Imogen :)
I love that movie!

Me too, I hope that's not why I like the name so much :)

Hahahahahaha. I just read this (after posting my other comment) and Down To You is one of my favourite movies, reason I started liking the name Imogen ;)

My Imogen will go by "Immy", although "Ginny" is a cute alternative nickname!!

Ginny was my husband's idea but I do think I like Immy better. I hope she'll like her name enough to use it when she gets older but I think with Ginny she'd probably end up sticking with that. And the whole spelling it wrong thing is a little confusing :) The only other shortened version I heard before today (Imogen Heap) is Ima and I do prefer Ginny over that.

I know a girl named Virginia that goes by Genny, so I wouldn't worry too much about the spelling being weird. Even if the spelling was "right" people would still mess it up anyways. :)

And just a heads up, people are probably going to spell her name "Imagine."

I actually always thought it was spelled that way until I looked it up. So I guess I can't get to upset about that :)

So true :)
