Answer 7

Neither!

Part of my reasons

Imogen Heap

Ethel from the song "The Streak" by Ray Stevens. (which is a great song btw)

There are other reasons too.  

Answer 8

Definitely Imogen. Its pretty and Irish sounding. Its also unique, but not at all weird. Ethel kind of reminds me of a witch- sorry!

Answer 9

Imogen

Answer 10

I like Imogen, Ethel in my opinion is  too old sounding. I think Imogen is very unique.

Answer 11

Actually Imogen is a man's name; the female version is Imogene (jean). Very strong name, Northern European, I think. Even though I'm over 50 I never quite got the beauty in the name Ethel....ow!

Answer 12

I personally don't like either, but I know that more people like Imogen than Ethel.  

Answer 13

imogen defiantly! its really unusual and pretty but its not all weird.

Beautiful name choice =]

Answer 14

Imogen is a young girls name.. Ethel reminds of an elderly woman in our present time and age..it may have been a fine name 100 years ago but Imogen is still popular.. Ethel does sound old fashioned in comparison same as Hester would or Ruth.. they were good names in Victorian times but not now.. so Imogen definitely it's still a nice name today..

Answer 15

Ethel.

Answer 16

Imogen.

Ethel reminds me of witches for some reason.

Answer 17

I prefer Imogen. However, Ethel was the name of one of my great-grandmothers, and I consider it a cute middle name =)

Good luck whichever way you decide to go

Answer 18

I like Imogen. Its very unique and even exotic sounding. It has a magical feel to it.

Imogen: Gaelic meaning Maiden. Created by mistake as a character who was a princess in Shakespeare's play Cymbeline. The name was meant to be Innogen, the name of a legendary Celtic character. Innogen or Inogen most likely derived from Inghean, a Gaelic term for maiden or daughter. Innogen was misprinted as Imogen, possibly due to someone thinking it referred to the last born ("Imo gens" in Latin.)

Answer 19

Imogen.   Ethel is my grandmother's name, she always hated it and went by  her middle name.  I can still remember when i found out that her "real" name was Ethel....I was in high school!!!
