Help[Opinions] Re: Imogene
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I love Imogen and would happily use it. Imogene, not so much. It changes the rhythm from ONE two three to ONE two THREE, which I don't like, and adding another spelling error or jazz riff to another doesn't help. I like the way Georgina can shorten to Gene/Jean, but it doesn't seem to work that way for Imogene.
That said, I've seen some wondrously kree8iv 'meanings' for both versions. Innogen, we are told, means 'Born Innocent' - as who is not? And as a corollary, Imogen(e) means 'Last Born'. Not an Irish princess in sight!
Tweaking some of your combos, I like:
Imogen Laura; Imogen Lyndall; Imogen Louisa; Imogen Clare; Imogen Florence; Imogen Dorothea; Imogen Margaret; Imogen Renée - a lot of birthing going on there!; Imogen Deborah; Imogen Sibyl; Imogen Dinah.
