I like it a lot, and tried to get it approved for my daughter but the family declined.

Imogen Cecily Clare does it for me!

I love Imogen but it's quite common where I'm from. I've always been a bit surprised that it has never taken off in the US considering it has had fairly consistent popularity in Australia and the UK for at least 20 years.

My favourite little real life Imogen is Imogen Leah (mn after her grandmother).

I like it. Imogen has a very special place in my heart as my first ever name love. I wanted to name my first daughter Imogen Elspeth, then Imogen Amelia, from the age of 8 to about 10 or 11. I still have it on my list but much further down, and as a guilty pleasure because it's so popular where I live. I think Imogen's strong, feisty, and determined, very down to earth too. For middles:

Imogen Amelia (My combo's now Imogen Amelia Elspeth)
Imogen Elspeth
Imogen Rue
Imogen Hestia
Imogen Lilia
Imogen Arabella
Imogen Elizabeth

I don't like it, mainly because the way it's spelled and pronounced has a pretty strong chemical vibe to it. Like halogen and nitrogen and carcinogen. Imogene pronounced Imma-Jean is much better but I'd never say I liked it. It's comical.
