[Opinions] Re: Imogen
in reply to a message by -=A=-
I absolutely love Imogen, it is one of my very favourites. I have no beef with it whatsoever and if I were to have a daughter right now this would probably be her name. Now, I don't prefer names with a sketchy origin but Imogen's is not bad enough to discourage me (unlike Phaedra's and Cressida's). Further, while a name's popularity can negatively impact upon my opinion, I don't live in a place where Imogen is at all popular (I've only seen one in the BAs from home recently).
A few more points regarding popularity: I dislike highly popular names because I don't want my daughter to be Sophia H. or worse yet Sophia H-O (I actually did have a class when I was younger with two Dan B's, so they had to be called Dan B-L and Dan B-I). Also, my name is a little more unusual and while I don't love my name, I do like that it's a bit different. Lastly, I personally have difficulty remembering someone's name if it's quite common.
