    which of these do you like?

    I like both but have a favourite which of course is different to the one DH likes I'm going to wait and see what she looks like when she's born anyway, but am interested in others' thoughts.

    Also, any suggestions for middle names would be great. I've considered using my mum's name (Susan) but she hated it and she wasn't a fan of lillies (Susan means lily). Her middle name and my middle name is Kaye, but I don't think DH is keen. So again, any suggestions are welcome and I'll see what grabs me.

    TIA

    ETA: DD1 is Amelia Grace

    I like Imogen!
    I don't mind Gretchen but it sounds and looks a bit harsh for me.

    I can't decide. I love them both although I'd probably lean more towards Gretchen because Imogen is quite popular atm. I'll vote Gretchen lol.

    That's exactly why DH doesn't like it.

    And that's why I prefer Gretchen.

    I voted Gretchen cause of the uniqueness.

    could you just use Lilly has a middle name - still after your mum, just not as obvious.

    Imogen was on our list for a while.

    Re middle names, make a deal and let DH "win" on the first name, in return you get to choose the second name . Then go ahead and choose one of your mum's names or a name based on a word that evokes her memory in some way.

    I love Imogen. I'm a bit biased with Gretchen, because that's one of the girls who bullied me in high school :-/

    I've always loved Imogen but won't have it b/c of our surname, it sounds odd. I don't mind Gretchen however, it is a little harsh IMO.
