Penelope Robyn - opinions?

[Psammead]

As the title says, really

I love penelope. Properly lovely name.

Thanks! Not sure it's clear, but I mean Penelope as a first name, Robyn as a middle name.

Lovely!

Yes I like it. Penelope is lovely, really good choice.

Love Penelope but not so keen on Robyn as a middle name!

Penelope may get very popular now courtesy of the new Kardashian baby!

Robyn is pretty non-negotiable

I have heard of the Kardashians but have no clue who they are. We are not in the UK so hopefully their fame will not extend

Lovely.

Penelope makes me think Penelope Pitstop. I don't think it goes with Robyn - Penelope is quite girly and feminine, and I think would go better with a 'softer' and more girly middle name. Robyn I think is a nicer name.

Love Penelope but was thinking the same as luella, about the kardashians and someone else famous had a baby girl at weeken and called her Penelope, must say I was abit anoyed as Penelope would have been on my list this time around

Love it!

Lovely! Both great names.

Penny Bob ??

PR can be dangerous depending on the surname !!!

Love Penelope! Would use it myself but surname also begins with a P!!

I love Penelope.

I love Penelope - it was a consideration for DD1 but had to rule it out because it rhymes with our surname. I like Robyn , too.

However, I don't think they're a good combo as first/middle names (or sibling names, for that matter) as they are very different names. To me, Penelope is a classic, timeless, feminine name. Robyn is new, fresh zesty and funky. I don't think that they have the right 'fit' together.

That's just what I think of them as a combination. Individually though, both lovely.

MammaT

Thanks for the replies

Lovely

We have a Holly Robyn, and like you, middle name pretty much non-negotiable. It's different and it's lovely, I really like Penelope too

Robyn Penelope is better IMHO.

I like them (love them) individually, but not together.

Nice but reminds me of Christopher Robin! Not a bad thing though...

Beautiful x

Sorry, don't like Penelope at all, but think Robyn for a girl is lovely!

I like Penelope, & I like Robin for a boy. Robyn for a girl I don't mind, but together they seem odd to me.

However I don't really believe in middle names flowing etc, to me the middle name slot is for meaningful names - my DDs are both middle named after grandparents. So it actually doesn't matter to me.

I like the combination! Biased because I have a Robin (DD). Always get nice comments about her name, btw. Penny Bob is just awesome. Ours gets Bobalina, Bobzilla (when in a trash-the-room toddler mood), Boberoo and Bobbins.
