I'm a sonographer and a lot of people say they're going to name their baby girl Penelope at the moment so it's probably best to look for a different name.
It seems my parents were not very imaginative when expecting me and I was one of four in my class with my name!

What about Penny, instead of Penelope?

Out of interest, how is Antigone and Calliope pronounced?

Cal - eye - oh - pee

LaLaLouella · 31/07/2022 11:05

An - tig- oh - knee

I'm not good at phonetics but it's kind of like that with a light stress on the 'tig' part
