I love it too...
And it makes me think of the 'Oh Penny' toys of my childhood

I have a very beloved relative called Penny (Penelope, but she likes people to shorten it). It is a beautiful name.
Knock knock knock. Penny?
Knock knock knock. Penny?
Knock knock knock. Penny?

Knock knock penny!
Knock knock penny!
From the big bang theory. That's all I'd think of!

Like it. Pretty, reliable, popular, bright. A 'head girl' kind of name. Or could that be because the head girl at my school was called Penny
I do like it though.

I like Penny too but worried about the 'spend a penny' connotations.

Very biased here, but I love it!
It's really sweet, but I think I would go for Penelope and use Penny as a nickname.

Penny is a jolly PTA mum with a sensible bob and a mock-wrap top from Next who always has a handy-pack of tissues in her bag.
I think it is quite wrong for a little girl. And also horrid.
Penelope is ok.

Find a penny, pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck

Agree with TidyDancer. I love Penny as a nickname, but it is a nickname, not a name. Would go for Penelope and shorten it. I also know a grown up Penny who is very head girl-ish, though lovely too!

Agree Penny is better as a nickname for Penelope.
And I could never think of Penny as a jolly PTA mum after watching all of Big Bang Theory many many times.

I like it. It has a kind of Enid Blyton vintagey feel to it. (Definitely not a bossy PTA type at all.)
