Feminine I names are a special love of mine. Plus, I'm a snob and so almost anything that reminds me of Shakespeare is sure to get my approval. Seriously,
Imogen is quirky and elegant at the same time. She's got a kind of awkward confidence that's hard to describe. It's very, very attractive.
As strict as I am with formal names like
Imogen is as lax as I am with their nns.
Imogen, nn Doodlebug, makes sense to me. So
Imogen, nn
Ginny, is an easy sale with me. In "The Forsyte
Saga" the character of
Imogen was called Immy by her family. Very cute.
