What are your thoughts on the name Penelope Lorraine? My middle name is Lorraine. Possible nickname of Penny / Nelly. Great grandma’s name was Nelly Lorraine so that’s where Nelly comes into play.

That’s a lot of name. If you like Penelope, I’d go with a shorter middle. FWIW, I think Lorraine would be a refreshing first name.

How long is your last name? I think the name is lovely but could be a mouthful of you have a long last name.

Lorraine as the first was our original go to but seemed impossible to find a good middle name to attach to it.

I love nn Nelly.
Lorraine is a lot with Penelope but I don’t think it really matters is it’s a special family name to you.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Lorraine is an underused iambic middle name (think Marie and Nicole) that pairs well with so many names. I think it is a GREAT combo!

I adore Lorraine. I also like name combos with lots of syllables so it is no problem to me.
