I really like the name [name]Imogen[/name] but someone pointed out that she will always have to correct the pronunciation of her name (“not imo-[name]GENE[/name]… imo-[name]JEN[/name]”).
And is this too weird for the states? I live in a metropolitan area in the south (which might DOOM her to being called imo-gene… although no heavy accents among the majority in my area)
And how does it fit with [name]Eliza[/name]… too much vowell? And is the fact that [name]Eliza[/name] will honoring family enough to overshadow any vowelley-ness (yes, i made up that word)?
[name]Just[/name] feeling out a few different names for future babies.
And do you think a name like this would be difficult for an internationally adopted baby girl to bear? My husband and I are deeply considering adoption in the future.
Okay… now that I’ve probably overwhelmed whoever read this with excessive amounts of rambling and questions, any thoughts?
I love the name [name]Imogen[/name], and while I don’t think she’ll always have to correct people’s pronunciation, I think it’s a very real possibility. (I’ve unfortunately heard it mispronounced as [name]Imo[/name]-jeen.)
I love both names (huge [name]Eliza[/name] fan here) :-), but not I’m not sure about them together. Wait. I forgot that it’s a family name. In that case, yes, I think the meaning is what’s important.
I think [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] is pretty. I will admit that my mind immediately read [name]Imogen[/name] as imo-geen. Looking at it now all I see is [name]Imo[/name]-jen.
I like [name]Imogen[/name] a lot. There may be some pronunciation issues but I don’t think it would be all the time with every person. [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] is pretty, and any awkward voweleyness is certainly made up for by its meaning to you (I don’t think it’s a terrible flow anyway).
