Imogen gay poots name

Do any of you understand who Imogen Poots is? She is a ravishing, doe-eyed gazelle of a British actress known mostly for being gorgeous and appearing in the feature 28 Weeks Later. Here she is:

She got me thinking or rather her name did. I just cant imagine an American actress with a name like that. She has to be European. It sounds like the name of an elderly tabby cat with a flatulence issue.

I think Imogen is an old-fashioned form of Jane, but Jane would have been too boring for our girl Imogen.
Its the sort of name that wouldnt work if one was only passably attractive and it would be much, much worse if one was homely. I would think that only a truly beautiful miss could ever carry off a name like Imogen Poots and luckily she is. Beautiful, I denote .
I’m a fan of names which stick in your head.
Before my children were born (in hippy town Woodstock, NY) my husband (Mr. Parris) and I told our respective parents that we intended to call our son-to-be, Paris Texas Parris and our daughter-to-be, Ooh La la Gay Parris.
But then they were born and we settled on slightly old-fashioned but cool names.

I spend a lot of time thinking about my character names. With my first boo

Imogen Poots? What gentle of name is that?

[quote] It's straightforward to laugh at the excesses of Old Hollywood, but the studio bosses were right about a few things. Actors are personalities, writ large on giant screens. And they are brands. Audiences long to identify with a brand, follow the brand. They simply cannot do so with an unpleasant, undistinguished, or off-putting name.

Hmm.

Well, there are two things you have to recall. First of all, the studios wanted to give stars first names which were more contemporary and up-to-date the year they became stars, which is why Frances Gumm became Judy. It's not that Judy was necessarily a better name than Frances; it's just it sounded more modern in the 30s. It would be as if a male celebrity renamed himself from "James" to "Jaden" today.

Next of all, they were always trying to acquire rid of "ethnic" last names in favor of WASPy last names, which is why Allen "Woody" Kaminsky became Woody Allen, and Doris Kappelhoff became Doris Day.

Imogen Poots claims to dislike watching scary movies, preferring film noir and Faulkner to the normal diet of sex and violence. But the 22-year-old British actress has adapted to both equally since she debuted in the dystopian terrorism movie V for Vendetta (2006) and appeared in 28 Weeks Later (2007), the sequel to Danny Boyle’s zombie-virus thriller 28 Days Later (2002). But it was Poots’s turn as a barely legal vixen who outsexes a lecherous Michael Douglas in Solitary Man that proved pivotal to jumpstarting her career. Since then, she has supplemented hyper-literate roles in Jordan Scott’s schoolgirl drama Cracks and Cary Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre (both released earlier this year) with blood-and-guts material enjoy the Internet thriller Chatroom and a TV remake of the controversial incest drama Bouquet of Barbed Wire. In August, Poots will appear in Craig Gillespie’s reboot of the cool-before-its hour 1985 horror comedy Fright Night, about a teen (Anton Yelchin) who suspects his neighbor (Colin
