I have loved this name for a very long time. It is regal and lyrical. It has a beautiful meaning as well. Love the way it sounds and how it looks. Not much to dislike about the beautiful Imani. May use this for a daughter one day.

Aw, the name Imani is really sweet! I know of two people named Imani, one I met was a little girl, and the other I met was a teen. Pretty cool sounding name. =) If you're an Imani, you're bound to be special.

This is the name of one of my cousins- but he's a boy! I didn't even realize this was a girl's name until I read Freakonomics and then looked it up here. I'm most definitely going to bring it up at the next family gathering and ask why they did that.
