[Opinions] WDYT of Penelope?
Replies
I absolutely love Penelope. I don't mind Penny as a nickname. My favorite combos are with Iris as a first or middle name. I think it fits well with your other favorites.
I adore it. Penelope Antoinette is still in my Top 5 Girls Names, but alas, we are not having any more babies. We did not use it for our daughter because I honestly didn't care for the nickname Penny and our (then 7 year old) didn't like the strong "pee" sound at the end of the name- he thought it had teasing potential. Still, overal, fabulous name and still a personal favorite.
I'm starting to like it more than I used to. It's a little nerdy cute. I think of Persephone as well when I think of Penelope.
I think it goes great with everything by Ruby. Penelope Annora or Penelope Blythe are lovely unusual combos.
I'd use the nickname Nell over Penny, but I'm not particularly opposed to Penny.

I think Penelope is beautiful! I love the movie Penelope and I think Penny is a adorable nickname. Penelope Blythe would be lovely.
Penelope is darling. Known, but not overly used. And it's so rare to see a girl's name beginning with a "p."
My favorite nn for Penelope would be Nell.

Love it! It's my niece's name (well, she's my best friend's daughter). She's 6 months old.
I think it's fun. It's fun to say, it looks fun, it's upbeat, friendly, and bright orange. My favorite nn for it used to be Nell, but that has such a different feel from Penelope alone that now my favorite nn is Penny. Totally cute.
The only combo I've ever made that I really love with it is Penelope Jane. I think the feel and color of Jane alongside it is just awesome.
I think it fits right in with your other favorite names. Penelope would be the more quirky one of the group.
