I voted "yes" for a few reasons:


1. I LOVE the name Imogene! I think it is beautiful, classy, sophisticated, and striking yet understated (rather than flashy...do you know what I mean?)


2. I recall a poll of yours, and I believe you were looking at Imagene as a different spelling for Imogene/Imogen, not a different name entirely. So, I would think that it wouldn't be too confusing to your child to change the spelling. And I WOULD change the spelling for the reason I explain below:


3. While I DO see "Imagene" as an alternate way to spell Imogene, I also see it as a "cre8tiv" way to spell "imagine". Like the word "imagine".


So in spite of the effort, I would suggest that you go through with it. Imogene is BEAUTIFUL!!! :-)


Best of luck to you!!
