Ooh love Imogen. That’s a name you don’t hear too often, even with the new love of old lady names. I also like Daphne and Violet |

PP here. I feel like we have similar taste in names. 
I think there are different schools of old lady names. Like there's WASPy old lady (Lydia, Sylvia) names and Southern old lady names (Hattie, Lettie). I am partial to British old lady names (Imogen) and Film Star old lady names (Fay, Vera). |

I love Irene. Other favorites are Helen, Ruth, and the various virtue names -- Faith, Hope, Prudence. (Not Chastity or Charity though, heh.) Elizabeth and Emily are also favorites but while used a lot 100 years ago, they have never really gone out of style, so they don't count. |
