Imogen

I was sort of off Imogen there for quite a while, but now I have come back to it and love it again. Especially Imogen Mary.

There is something about Imogen Mary and Cecily/Cicely Alice (or Anne/a) as sisters that also pleases me exeedingly. It's like I can't have one without the other (there are many such name pairings for me).

I really like Imogen! Imogen & Cicely is such a deliciously British-dainty sibling set.

I've always loved Imogen - welcome back to our select group!

Coincidentally, I also think of Imogen in a group with Alice and Cecily! And Clare.

I don't mind the name Imogen and Imogen Mary is rather nice. A friend of a friend had her fourth baby not too long ago and named her Imogen Peace. I thought that was a very sweet combo.

I love Imogen Mary. Good choice.

I've never liked Imogen. It's just completely bland and colourless. It's pretty popular here in the UK so maybe I've just had more opportunity to get tired of it. I always imagine Imogen as a lisping 5 year old, too. It sounds vaguely medicinal, or like some kind of image editing software, I don't know. Just lifeless.

Imogen Mary (or Mary Imogen!) is pretty enough, though - I love Mary and it goes nicely.

I love Imogen. I personally wouldn't pair it with Mary, which I find a bit dull. But I do think Imogen and Cecily are adorable as sisters.

I really like Imogen, but the combo Imogen Mary seems a bit flat to me, I'd prefer Imogen Alice. :)
