Just a bit of a poll really. Please vote for your favourite
I am not looking for more name suggestions- please only your favourite of these two- if you don't like either, that's fine but please don't slate them.

We have chosen Penelope for our DD2 due in 2 days. We need to decide on a middle name.

A sister to Ariana.

We have a one syllable last name (totally outs self)

These are VERY different names but will give you a brief reason for why we like them.

First choice: Penelope London

I know it's a little 'out there' and we really don't want to go for the whole 'Brooklyn, India, Paris' type of place name but we just think it's sounds strong and not only that, we are not originally from London but met here, made a life here, and it has significant meaning for us- we realise it might be a little 'too out there' for some and was for us at first but kind of just grew on us.

Second choice- Penelope Aurélia

We have always loved this name both feminine and masculine version (Aurelius/Aurelian)
It means 'golden' and since DD1's first name means 'silver' in Welsh (or 'holy one' Latin) I think silver and gold have a nice connection grasps at straws
But we also realise it is quite close to DD1's name in sound hence why we are considering it as a middle name.

Thanks for taking the time to read!

I prefer Penelope London, I think it sounds really cool.

I like London. Not because I like the name London, but I love out here middle names.

Desperate to use Lilac as a middle name if I have another girl, for this exact reason.

Thanks Gemerama. I predict that will be a common consensus but interesting to find out Smile
