Help[Opinions] Re: Imogen / Imogene
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
Imogen = IM-o-jen
Imogene = IM-o-jeen
I like them both. A lot. But I think I prefer Imogene. I seem to be the only person here that does! They sound a lot like Emma Jane and Emma Jean, which are nice. They also sound a bit like 'imagine', but I still really like them.
I wonder if one or other pronounciation and spelling is more popular/originated in different countries? I see Imogen is quite popular in England, Wales and Australia but there are no stats for Imogene in those countries. And Imogene was reasonably popular in the USA in the first half of the 20th century, but there are no stats for Imogen being used in the USA. So is Imogene the Americanised version of Imogen maybe?
