Help us choose between Orly and Imogen

gallagherkaty6

I know, I know, neither of these names are particularly favored by many. But, Orly is my husband's pick and Imogen or Imogene is mine. We are both extremely stubborn and protective of these selections. Please tell us which you like more!!

Love Imogen/Imogene and hate Orly.

I have not heard or seen Orly before. So Imogen gets my vote by default.

ETA - I like Imogen as a name, anyway

Scornelius

Tell your husband that she'll be called Orally for the entirity of her teen years.

Definitely, definitely Imogen. Definitely.

I would only use Orly I'd you are very Jewish. Otherwise this is all I can think of.

Honestly neither, but if you insist on using one of them Imogen is MUCH better than Orly..

Imogen

I actually love Imogen, I think it's such a pretty name and a bit different without being weird.

I've never heard of Orly - I'd assume Orla was misspelt (sorry Mr gallagherkaty6)

No one will agree with me here but I actually love Orly and I hate Imogen.

Bring on the flames...

SmrBrd2012

Not a fan of either but choosing Imogen by default since Orly is not good. What about Orla?

jkeezy

I prefer Orly, but spelt Orli.

Orly makes me think immediately of the airport in Paris.  I didn't even realize it was a first name.

 

Imogen isn't my style, but it is a perfectly good name.

Jheaps

Orly reminds me of the geek Orly on King of the Nerds.  Imogen is much better.

Ditto.

Imogen is better, never heard of Orly. Imogen does make me think of The Best Christmas Pageanr Ever...but I do like that book

Orly Shani is a fashion blogger that had a show in either E or Bravo for a little bit. I had never heard the name before but I really like it!

Imogen

Imogen.

Zimger

Imogen is okay. It's not my style but it's classic.

Orly comes off of my tongue as Orally, probably not a good thing.

DrillSergeantCat

Orly immediately makes me think of nail polish or text speak for oh really. I really like Imogen though.

Smax0822

I prefer Orla but I do like Orly better than Imogene

nareek

I knew an Orly growing up and there is one in my son's pre school. It is a Hebrew name. Very pretty.

JadaBlue

Imogen. With Orly I just think of the airport...

gonetothesea

I think they're both lovely, but I like Imogen more.

libby+nate

I like Imogen. I think oral. I'm sorry

fwtx5815

Orly makes me think of the nail polish.

Elsa1984

I automatically thought of "Orally"

Love Imogene

groovylocks

I actually love Imogen. That would be my first choice. Orly is ok too though. But makes me think of "o rly?" so she might get micro-memed

Scornelius

Ooh, I will support Orly if you promise to pronounce it like Oh Really. It can be the new La-a!
