    Imogen is nice, I have'nt heard many of them around.. I only know 1.

    We really like Amelia but it is currently pretty hot well down here anyway, it is my auntys name and we like to use family names.

    Annabelle go the longer spelling it looks prettier.

    Eilish its too hard unless you change the spelling you will always be spelling it and no-one will know how to pronouce it.
    I think you need 2 middle names if your DS has 2. There are plenty of pretty old fashioned short names that would go with what you have choosen, and how often do you use middle names? most people don't go around calling their children the whole name.

    Goodluck !!! sounds like you are doing very well by yourself.

    I love the name Eilish. I once taught a lovely girl with that name and have always liked it. Unfortunately DH doesn't like it so it will never be an option for us.

    I LOVE the name imogen! Its definitely on my favourites list.
    The only advice that I am going to give, is to remember that at school, it is annoying when teachers mispronounce, or when people have to constantly ask how to spell your name. I reccommend Imogen or Annabel.
    Goodluck with your bundle of joy!
