I have received more virulent opposition toward this name than any other name I have listed--but I'm not sure I understand why. I think this one is stunning, yet understated. Is the disfavor because its origin is a little sketchy, or is it just because it's recently been vigoriously revived and you didn't think of it yourself? Personally, I don't care about the popularity of a name at all (I'd name sisters Emily and Soraya consecutively without considering the popularity of either). Imogene was fairly popular in the twentieth century, and Imogen just seems like a more modern, more earnest form of that rather dated specimen. What is your beef with this name?

I still love it though.
