I like both. However, I probably wouldn't use Emmeline because it's so close to Emily and I think people would assume it's Emily all the time since Emily is soo popular.

I love Imogen dearly, and find that it has a similar vibe to Emily - not Emily as a massively popular name currently, but Emily as a timeless classic.

Unfortunately, I just can't take Emmeline seriously at all.

I really like Emmeline. I think it's adorable and a great alternative to Emily/Emma. I think Imogen just looks ugly, but I don't mind the sound.

Emmeline's ok... Kinda pretty... Imogen is ugly as anything... Sounds and looks almost like imagine spelt and said wrong... and it makes me think of collagen, which a part of products, not something I'd associate w/ a person. In fact, it's among my more strongly disliked names... and since it's just a mis-spelled word name from something Shakespeare wrote, it has even less appeal because of its lack of substance.

Imogen is okay but the fact that it began as a printer's typo for Innogen puts me off it. Both remind me a bit of halogen as in halogen lamp.
I don't like Emmeline at all - dreary and fusty - despite it being the name of the great Mrs Pankhurst, the British suffragette leader.

I love them in theory. In practice, I wouldn't use them. I think they're both vulnerable to mispronunciations that would drive me crazy.
