Middle name for Imogen?

pinkylu · September 2009

DH and I are considering the name Imogen if this little one is a girl. Our problem is picking a middle name. Our last name starts with an E, so we have to be careful of weird initials.

We don't want to use any middle names starting with C,K, or R or that end in N or S. I have looked on lots of different name sites and nothing is flowing well to me. Any suggestions? Also, our middle name starts with E, ends with sh and is two syllables.

This might be a stupid question, but how exactly do you pronounce Imogen? I'm thinking Ee-mo-jin??

Em-o-jen.

Me too. Emma-gin is how it is pronounced in the UK, where it is a popular name.

To me this is potatoe:potatoh...The middle vowel is not stressed, it is just an "uh" sound.

So...anyone have any middle name suggestions?

I think you are saying it the same way we are - emma is the same way you are saying Im as in him.

my first thought was Rose or May/Mae

I've never heard this name before. I would guess the pronunciation is Im-oh-gene. Anyway, for a middle name, I would pick a classic name like Elizabeth, Alexandra, Hannah, Victoria, Laura, Samantha, etc.. something along those lines.

i think you are overthinking the initials. I dont think have I-C-E as initials is that bad!

No, I don't think I am. "Im" and "Em" sound different in the same way that "Him" and "Hem" do.

To me they sound the same, so whatever.
