First out, I really love [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. For me it has the perfect balance of young and old, pretty yet strong and bookish yet bold. I wouldn’t necessarily blacklist it purely because of popularity, as I believe if you love a name you should use it regardless of standings, but I’m just sending out the feelers to see if there are any alternatives that are perhaps a little less common. (This post prompted by a trip to a soft play area with my niece where there were a couple of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]'s!).
I know many berries are from the US where [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is still unusual, but it’s far more popular here in [name_f]England[/name_f], pretty sure it’s top 25 at least.
My request of you- suggest names with the same vibe/feel as [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. A name that could hold its own but still has a touch of soft femininity. Thanks berries!!!
(Note: I’m not at all opposed to hipster/yupster names! :P)

It’s been said, but I’ll repeat: [name_f]Isolde[/name_f].
[name_f]Innogen[/name_f] . It’s very similar. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you like it!

I second the suggestions of [name_f]Fenella[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], and [name_f]Emeline[/name_f].
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is a stunning name 
I wouldn’t worry about the poularity, but here are some more suggestions anyway.
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f]
[name_f]Odilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottoline[/name_f]
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Perdita[/name_f]
[name_f]Amynta[/name_f]
The one name I think fits your bill is [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f].
Lots of names make me think of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], but are all just as common ([name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f])
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] are good suggestions.

[name_f]Alienor[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]
