At one point I would’ve said Flora first, was on my list - but I’ve been out off by the horrible ‘easily spreads’ comments directed at women with this name by men, apparently. So Penelope.

partyatthepalace · 18/04/2021 16:12

Penelope Flora if you are using Nell as nn

Flora Penelope if not

Penelope will get shortened and I don’t like Penny

RuthW · 16/04/2021 12:14

Both nice but I prefer Flora

BettyBe · 16/04/2021 11:51

Flora Penelope

Penelope

ExcellentGPbutnotapsychiatrist · 16/04/2021 09:38

I prefer Flora so would go for Flora Penelope.

bridgetreilly · 16/04/2021 09:30

Flora Penelope, but I like it both ways round.

Tal45 · 16/04/2021 09:22

Flora Penelope flows better IMO and Penelope is a bit prissy for my liking but lovely as a middle name. Also would probably get shortened to Pen which I don't like either.

rainbowthoughts · 16/04/2021 09:15

They are nice names but realistically you will only use one of them, so choose the one you like the best.

KirstenBlest · 16/04/2021 09:07

Try both first names with the surname without the middle name.

Flora Kitten or Penelope Kitten. Hmm, your username might hold the answer.

BigusBumus · 16/04/2021 09:01

Prefer Penelope first as I like Penny.

However I like Flora but I HATE Flo with a passion. I only ever hear Heavy Flow.

KirstenBlest · 16/04/2021 08:59

I was going to say 'Is it said as Colonthry?'

Both names are ok but I don't get the MN love for Penelope. All the Penelopes I know are Penny, and all are lovely.

I prefer Flora.

lemonsyellow · 16/04/2021 08:42

Both are lovely, elegant, classic names. Hard to choose.

KoalaOok · 16/04/2021 07:37

Cutesy even!

KoalaOok · 16/04/2021 07:36

Penelope Flora as it allows for Penny as a shortening should she wish. Not a fan of Flora as a first name as it's a bit cutsey.

Ginandplatonic · 16/04/2021 04:47

Penelope Flora. But both nice.

stellarfox · 16/04/2021 04:07

Lovely both ways! If I had to choose maybe Flora Penelope as I’ve not met a Flora, whereas I know a baby Penelope already

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/04/2021 03:12

Flora Penelope. Flora is pretty with a sweet, retro/vintage feel imo. Although Penelope is classical I've never been keen on the sound of it personally (I've also met a few little Penelope's in recent years - I think it might be having a "moment").

sorryforswearing · 16/04/2021 00:17

Flora Penelope flows the best but she would be known by whichever was my favourite if she were mine.

OppsUpsSide · 16/04/2021 00:10

I don’t know because I don’t think I would appreciate being called either.
Maybe Penelope Flora

Ineedaneasteregg · 16/04/2021 00:09

Two of my favorite names, choosing is hard!

Which name do you like best?
