Idaleen is a feminine name that appears to be an elaboration of Ida, combining it with the popular suffix "-leen" (a variant of "-line" or "-lyn"). Ida itself has Germanic roots meaning "industrious" or "hardworking," and was quite popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The extended form Idaleen likely emerged during the mid-20th century when there was a trend toward creating more ornate versions of simpler names. It has a vintage, somewhat rural American feel, reminiscent of names popular in southern and midwestern communities. While never widely used, Idaleen has a distinct charm that combines old-fashioned sensibility with a melodic quality. Today, it would be considered a very rare choice, possibly appealing to parents seeking a unique vintage name with a gentle, feminine sound.

Imagination might have some of the whimsy feel of Wish, Reverie, Ever, and Dream, but lacks the airy, breezy sounds. While it could get you to nicknames Immy, Nate, Iggy, and Idgie, we'd recommend Imogen, Ingrid, Ignatia, or Imogene perhaps, but for something rarer or equally creative as Imagination, how about Poesy, Vision, Roya, or Winsome.

Innogen is the Shakespearean name that never was. Most sources will tell you that Shakespeare intended to use Innogen for a character in Cymbeline, but his printer mistook the twos Ns for an M, thus inventing Imogen. This may or may not be true — Imogen seems to have existed before his time, and Shakespeare may have changed the spelling on purpose — but nevertheless, it makes for a great name story.
 
The evidence is mixed on whether or not Shakespeare deliberately altered Innogen for his play, but he undoubtedly took it from Holinshed's Chronicles, comprehensive volumes of British history. Innogen was the wife of the first king of Britain, Brutus of Troy, who ruled in the 12th century. Prior to that, the name existed in various forms in Brittany, including Ennoguent, Innoguend, and Innoguent.
 
Popular consensus is that Innogen was ultimately was derived from the Gaelic word for "daughter," inghean, but the -guen(t/d) ending implies a relation to windos, the Proto-Celtic root meaning "white," from which we get -gwyn and -gwen today.
 
In modern times, Imogen has totally eclipsed Innogen in use (blame it on Shakespeare). It has never been recorded as a name in the US, making it a one-of-a-kind option for a daughter.

This variant spelling emerged primarily in the 20th century as parents sought more distinctive forms of classical names.

The name conveys qualities of innocence, uniqueness, and classical elegance with its flowing sounds.
