It's my DH's choice for our hypothetical DD#2. It's getting too popular for my taste. But I do like all the nn options (Penny, Poppy, Lola, Nellie, Polly).

Johnny Carson killed this name for me for ever. I was a little kid when I watched him do a bit about how silly the name Penelope is. During the bit, he mentioned that it looks like it should be pronounced the same way as ENVELOPE. To this day, all I can think of is a pronunciation akin to envelope! LOL
Thank you everyone for your input! Funny enough, I didn't like it at all the first time I heard it...it has grown on me. I never thought of the nn Poppy - that is cute.
Love (see signature below)! Especially with the nn Penny. I've only met one young Penelope and she didn't have a nn. I only wish my DH would be on board with it.
AWESOME name!! Best ever for a girl (I say as I'm rocking my Penelope to sleep).
Mine has a lot of nns, none of them Penny. She's primarily Lola or Peep. Sometimes she's Peenalope. The many nicknaming options were a big factor in our decision. DH and I both go by nns. GL!

I hate this name big time. Sorry.
It gets a lot of love on here, but I just don't understand it.
It is recognizable and spelled right, so there's nothing wrong with it, it's just definitely not for me.
LOVE THIS NAME!
It's on our short list for future babies...I really like all the common nicknames for it too: Poppy, Penny, Nell/Nellie.
Cute and classic.
