MN for Imogen

Girl Names
1

Hello,
I’m looking for a MN for my second daughter who will be born in [name_f]May[/name_f]. My first daughter’s name is [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] so we were thinking of choosing another nature-based middle name for [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. I’m not very fond of very precious sounding florals though. Our last name is monosyllabic and starts with S so I don’t want to choose anything that begins with a B or a R (IRS, IBS).

So far we are thinking…
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_m]Forest[/name_m] (my brother’s mn is [name_m]Forrest[/name_m])
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] (the baby’s Chinese name means spring moon)

I’m a little worried that the nature-based idea is a little too matchy…

I love the idea of linking your daughters’ names by doing another nature middle name and I don’t think it’s too matchy at all. I think it’s definitely subtle enough since it’s the middle name. I love the options you have come up with, especially [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f], or [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]?

Let me start by saying that I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] your elder daughter’s name, and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is stunning too!

I think another nature middle is a nice touch. The connection is there, but it doesn’t feel too “matchy” since they’re only middle names. If you want to make it even less obvious, I’d go for another fairly well-established nature name like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or a name with a natural meaning like [name_f]Luna[/name_f], rather than a more unusual natural word-name like [name_f]Clover[/name_f] or [name_m]Forest[/name_m].

I love [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]! I was going to say [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Avery[/name_u], but [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is pretty similar to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (and not naturey!). I think names that start with a vowel sound nice after [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]:

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Arbor[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Ember[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] - her birthstone!
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Acacia[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]

And some that don’t start with vowels but sound nice:

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] (“of the woods”)
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f] (“lioness”)
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] - her birth month!

Thanks so much for your help everybody!

I really like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Silvie[/name_f] - I hadn’t thought of that!
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is still a favorite. My mom says it makes her think of “Lunatic” though… anyone else? I never make that association.
I also like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but it sometimes makes me think of “violent”
