Imogen
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I've always found it to be pleasant and I might consider using it, but anytime I mention the name IRL, people tend to gag. Visibly. I don't understand why anyone would gag -- I think it's cute and suitable for both a child or a young or mature adult.

I gag. Visibly. *pause to allow mental Imogen of me gagging*I have this impression of it being a name for a character who is the ingenue child of wealthy important British people, but a name for a real-life child of people who fantasize such characters. A name that virtually didn't exist before there were any such people using it.I think part of the problem is that it reminds slightly of the word image.
It's not an ugly name.

Oh my gosh, I just saw a perfume by Lush called Imogen Rose and I was just telling my mom how I don't like Imogen. I mean, it gets cool points from me for not being frilly and overly girly. It's like Eleanor's bookish younger sister. But it still sounds like a medicine or just random sounds put together to me.Though I kinda like how Imogen Rose sounds. And Imogen Lilly. Aw, man, it might be growing on me.

The "Ima" sound just isn't attractive to me.

I don't understand it, either. It's an adorkable name to me. :/
