Twas my mums name, she passed away 32 years ago.

I have 5 dc and we are ttc our last one. First born was a girl.

Now to be very honest, I'm really not keen on the name, I'd like to honour my mum and my 14 yr dd says, "you named ds2 after dh's dead dad so you should name a girl after your mum". Have explained that if i loved it, as my firstborn dd she would have been Penny.

Could probably grow to love it, I guess. We really struggled with dd3's name btw, but have agreed for a boy.

Thanks in advance, ( i think, )

I really like Penelope- Penny for short-

but I wouldn't use it if you don't like the name. As a middle name, perhaps?

I would say a definite yes if it's what you want- but if it's last dc then you should give it the name you like the best.

When DD gets older and has children she can name one of them Penny if she still feels the same!
