Love Penelope, but I just can't seem to like Penny. I get all the head girl/PTA woman associations too. And Penny Crayon, who was a right tit.

All the Pennys I've known have been mad as a box of frogs.

It's a good name.

It is a sweet gentle name.

Dog's name, sorry. Penelope is good though, just don't like the shortening.

I'm called Penelope and I do like it. Am not in PTA (expecting first baby next month so maybe one day) do have a decent job and am only a little bit mad but am blaming pregnancy hormones! My family call me Penel which I love, friends call me Penny, Penn or Pen. Have lived overseas and works well in Europe too.

I love it.

I also have to tell you this, though it may out me. For several years I taught a quite angry teenager who was genuinely called Penny Lane. She hated it, bless her.

Lovely!

Lovely!

I prefer Penelope

My friend's mum used to use Penny to refer to our lady bits when we were little girls so it is a no-no for me. The same friend's mum now has a dog called Penny and was mortified when I pointed out her dog is called "Lady Bits"

Love it.
