[name\_f]Imo[/name\_f] is definitely avoidable. I would never have come up with that. All the Imogens I’ve known have gone by Immie at some point (as children and adults) - personally I love the nn. Immie! But I think Immie/Ims is way more instinctive to me than [name\_f]Imo[/name\_f]. But I also love the possibility of [name\_f]Ginnie[/name\_f] as a nn. But if you don’t like Immie, I do think it is avoidable ---

I love [name\_f]Immy[/name\_f] - on a small child, but after the age of about 10 I’m not a fan of it. [name\_f]Jenny[/name\_f] is cute, and I like Ims a lot. Hopefully [name\_f]Imogen[/name\_f] wouldn’t really be nicknamed, as I feel they’re all a bit clunky ---

Like the others, [name\_f]Imo[/name\_f] didn’t occur to me I don’t think anyone would really think of [name\_f]Imo[/name\_f] as a name. It’s kinda like nicknaming someone named (lets use my nameberry name) [name\_f]Lumina[/name\_f] “Lum” [Previous page](https://forum.nameberry.com/t/imogen-is-imo-avoidable/441717.md?page=1)
