Penny or Indie?

Really love these names. I'm due in forever with our 3rd child (girl) and would love to hear opinions on both names!

We could still change our minds but right now these two are on the top of our list! Thanks If you have similar names on your girl's list please do mention them.

These are not nicknames as I live in Scandinavia and people here don't really do nicknames.
So Penny and Indie as they are.
(I know India is a "proper" name, but I've never been there and I don't want to name my child after a place I don't know if I like).

I'd go for Penny. Indie makes me think of my son's awful taste in music.

Love Indie. Hadn't heard it before my DC started doing PE with Joe

I prefer Penny.

Aclh13 · 14/05/2020 20:28

I like them both but penny I prefer more but if it was India I would prefer that

I like Penny. I don't know any, and I only know one lady whose name is Penelope, and she is 60+. The only other Penny is the one in the Big Bang Theory on TV (a lovely funny character, nothing to worry about there).

At the moment in Scotland, there are a few folk who are trying to get up a campaign for a second referendum on Independence. Their slogan is Indy-Ref 2. So that is what I think of when I hear the word Indie/Indy. But if is unlikely to affect you, as you say you are not in the UK.

I prefer penny- indie to me means independent business/alternative teenager

Blursula · 14/05/2020 20:21

Indie gets my vote. Really dislike Penny but it seems really popular on here

BabyDust13 · 14/05/2020 19:36

I think they are equally lovely I'd probably sway towards Indie but that's just because it's slightly more my taste

I love Penny. Not so keen on Indie.
