Meaning and background
The story behind Imogene
Imogene is documented as a variant of Imogen, with an English reference pronunciation ending in a long een sound. The extra final letter therefore should not be dismissed as merely decorative when comparing the names. An owner who likes a full traditional personal name can try both calls and choose deliberately. This record establishes the exact variant relationship without guessing at a deeper translation. Keep Imogene consistent on tags and records if that is the form you want, especially when others may be more familiar with Imogen.
