My Grandmother's name was Imogene!  Long I, Long O, and then Jean!  She always went by Jean or Jeanie though?? 

Is this right??  Is it for boy or girl??

i pronounce it: im-o-jen  

justrachet

I pronounce it like "I'm - uh - gene." But maybe that's because I had a relative named Ima Jean.

IMM-uh-jen

I'm not considering it for us at all I just saw it on a list and I think there is a singer with that name and I just never knew how to pronounce it.   Sounds like there are different ways to. =o)

dionnemd10

Im-o-Jen   if you ad an e to the end then I say Im-o-gene

nicolebuchalla

Ditto this.  But my grandmother spells it Imogene not Imogen.

Yes, the singer's name is Imogen Heap and she is great. I believe it is pronounced EEm-o-jean. Might be pronouncing her name that way because she is from the UK. I imagine there are plenty of ways to say it though.

Im a gin

This is how I've heard people from the UK pronounce it, and since that's where it's the most popular, that's the pronunciation I go with.

I actually love this name, but DH vetoed.
