Calling all Penelopes

If your name or your DDs name is Penelope, what are you called day to day? Are you all Penny or Nel? I really love the name Penelope but not totally sold on the nicknames. Does anyone remain a Penelope?

Could Pen(n), Opie or even Ellie be alternative nickname options?

I know a Penelope. Never heard her called anything but her full name. Beautiful name.

I'm a Penny (which I much prefer to my full name) except on my driving licence and passport. Border control staff regularly rhyme it with antelope Grin

The only Penelope I know is an adult and definitely still a Penelope
