Oh, what a strange thing to do Papergirl! Was the advice ‘you’ received on netmums in relation to your thread better or worse? Grin

Papergirl1968 · 06/11/2018 08:10

Ps I’ve reported only so Mumsnet are aware three posts were lifted right on to Netmums.,

Papergirl1968 · 06/11/2018 08:07

Netmummer Sarah reposted one of my threads, Superstar so unlikely.

Penelope is a very lovely name!
I’m in SE and a huge fan of Lady Penelope (Keith)

plaidlife · 06/11/2018 02:07

I really like it, classic with good nicknames.

SuperstarDJ · 06/11/2018 01:56

Papergirl - maybe OP and netmummer Sarah are the same person?

Papergirl1968 · 05/11/2018 23:22

Reported as this is one of three posts copied and pasted word for word from Mumsnet to Netmums by a Netmums poster called Sarah. Bloody cheek!
FWIW, op, I like Penny but my dad used to pronounce Penelope as Penny Lope!

I really like it. When my DD was born I binge watched The Big Bang Theory whilst cluster feeding and almost changed her name to Penelope as a result Grin.

I’m in the south east but the Penelopes are all over. A couple in Northern Ireland, one in the north west, the youngest one is in Devon and I’m sure there’s another one I’ve forgotten.

Would ace been DD name had my surname not made it sound ridiculous. Adore it

userabcname · 04/11/2018 17:00

Love!

Citylivingwithdogs · 04/11/2018 16:47

Lovely. Lots of them under 3.

Didyeeaye · 04/11/2018 16:45

It's ok but always makes me think of Penelope pit stop from wacky races lol can't take it seriously as a name because of it

RoomWithALoon · 04/11/2018 16:41

I love Penny, but not keen on Penelope. Don't know why!

ZebraKid71 · 04/11/2018 10:08

I really like it. Some people say it's getting popular but I don't know of any so it may depend on where you live.

Cbeebiesrehab · 04/11/2018 09:36

Quite like it but don’t like Penny. Like Nell/Nelly though

SallyWD · 04/11/2018 07:55

Really lovely name

snowychristmas · 04/11/2018 00:18

I love it. It's my DD1s name and we've always called her Nelly

DuckofDoom · 04/11/2018 00:13

I love it but I’ve just seen a fourth or fifth baby Penelope born in my circle of acquaintances. I think it’s becoming very popular, so might be something to consider if that bothers you

DramaAlpaca · 03/11/2018 23:33

Gorgeous.

Preferably with Nell as a diminutive rather than Penny.

2128Cl · 03/11/2018 23:33

Not keen. I do like Penny.

totallyaddicted · 03/11/2018 23:31

Nice but quite common now.
