[Opinions] Penelope
What do you think of Penelope?
I used to dislike this name, but it's been growing on me lately. A lot.
What would you pair it with? I thought maybe a one syllable name could work?

I absolutely love it. I had a Cabbage Patch doll with the name as a kid, but I did not really like the name then. I think it is spunky and beautiful. I love Penelope Iris and Iris Penelope.
Thanks everyone!
A little late, but I'd like to thank you all. I really like some of your ideas :-)

I used to not care for it, but I think it's fine for someone else's child now. It's grown on me a bit.

A perfect name in my opinion- one of the top five we considered for our daughter. Penelope Charlotte & Penelope Antoinette were pairings we had in mind.
Those combos actually redeem the name a little.
I love this name A LOT, even though it's from a type of duck. Meanings, shmeanings.
Penelope isn't my style, but it's a good name. It can fit a lot of girls- from serious to youthful, shy to extroverted, etc.
A single syllable middle name sounds best...not that I can think of much.
Penelope Bess
Penelope Eve
Penelope Gwen
Penelope Ruth
Penelope Sol
Penelope Zoe
and breaking this rule-
Dora Penelope
Penelope Anouk
Penelope Lenore
Victoria Penelope

I don't really like it but I throw it in combos because a lot of people do. It reminds me of Penelope Pitstop (terribly annoying), cantalope (which I don't like, and loping (which then brings to mind a long-legged cowboy or a giraffe. Some combo ideas for you:
Penelope Elaine
Penelope Wren
Penelope Islay
Penelope Quinn
Penelope Greer
Penelope Felice
Penelope Shay
Penelope Winona
Penelope Gris (GREE)
Penelope Kate/Cate
Isla Penelope
Fiona Penelope
Una Penelope
Ima Penelope
