Imogen for a name?

[Saffi]

Found out on Friday we are having a girl. We had previously thought about Emily, but a close relative has an Amelie and it is too close to use it (and also very popular atm).

Both DH and I like the name Imogen but the few times we have mentioned it we haven't got very positive reactions.

What is your reaction to the name? Do you have any alternatives that aren't in the top 10 names at the moment, but are still classic/traditional.

PS Sooo excited I was right and you're having a pink one!! Woot!!

It is lovely, and feminine and sounds exotic .... can you tell if my baby Zander was going to be a girl, she would of been called Imogen

Oooh Saffi, it's so exciting to see you thinking of girl names!

I LOVE the name Imogen, it is beautiful . Awww, and you can nickname her "Immy"!

I quite like Imogen. It is lovely for an adult and Immy is so cute for a little girl. I might pop it on my list if thats ok!?

When I was younger (17) I first heard Imogen & wasn't too keen, but I really like it now!
I met 2 sisters a while ago Immy & Onny (Imogen & Ondene) They were so cute

Congrats on finding out your having a girl..

I also love the nale Imogen...remember not everyone is going to like it..We had several friends who told us straight out they hated our dd's name made me want to use it even more lol

I love that name and would love to have a daughter called Imogen as well, but I can't because of my last name. (think a celebraty whose name is Imogen and that's why we can't call any of our kids that). But I think you should go for it.
