Penelope, WDYT?

BelleIsa

I'm loving this name recently.  MN would prob be Lynn (my mom's name).

WDYT? 

(DH isn't too excited about it, but maybe I can convince him otherwise!)

I really like it.

I like Poppy as the nn- much more so than Penny. 

Heartcease

I really like it too

alliejo725

I adore it.

Penny, Poppy, Elle, Nell, Lo....so many great nicknames!

I'd dropped it out of consideration, but since reading that Penelope Cruz has a sister named Monica, I've started admiring what a nice sibset it makes.

I think it's cute but not wild about Penny as a nickname - but really like "Poppy" as a NN!

Personally I don't care for it, but maybe that is b/c growing up my sister had a pig named Penelope, so whenever I hear the name, I automatically think of a pig.

I think it is a cute name, but one I would get tired of after a while.

LOVE!

I like it. It was in the top 10 of our list for the longest time, but DH knocked it off when we got to the final 6. My mother hates it. She is so mad because it is one of the few names we told we were thinking about and none of the names she told us made the is (Kaycee, Rylee & Vickee are her top choices  . Her exact words were " that's not even a name" "she is going to be made fun of" " I'm going to find her a real name" This has caused my husband and I to re-think adding back to the list.

 

She also thinks that Natalie and Elizabeth are not real names either.

Love Penelope!  If we ever have another baby girl, this is one of the names i'm considering!

My DD is Penelope Lynn.

Lynn is my and my mothers mn's.

 

We call her Pen and Penny.

I wasn't 100% sure of the name before she was born but it was the only name that we felt we both really liked. I have NEVER regreted it and every day that has gone by I have just been more and more glad for the name we picked. It is feminine and not common and gets TONS of compliments

It is nms, but I do think it is a nice enough name.

This!

Love it!  I know a Penelope who is 4 years old.  She goes by the nn 'Ellie'.

magsugar13

I really dislike it and I do not any of the nn's that go with it either.

It is my son's rats name.

da731

I love it, personally.

misskaydee

I love Penelope, my favourite nn is Penny.

I think it's an adorable name I wouldn't do it if I had a really long last name though..

Love it!!  My DH isn't so fond of it, so I don't think it would make our final name list, but I love the nn Penny.  It's classic, yet modern.  I mean, it's a REALLY old name given that Homer named Odysseus' wife Penelope in the Odyssey.  It's perfect, IMO.

kacelle

I love it, and so does DH.  We'd use Poppy as the NN.  

ObLaDi

Great name! Love it.

Agreed. I prefer the nickname Nell/Nellie.

BelleIsa

We have a 3 syllable last name... So it would be Penelope Lynn Darcypaine (not my real LN, but similar).  Is it too much?
