If I like Penelope, what else would I like?

[cocolocopoco]

Put off this lovely name by Kardashian associations

Something classic, easily recognisable, pretty but 'staid' enough that it wouldn't be a hindrance in any serious job she may have.

also, if at all possible, not overused...no Elizabeths, Charlottes etc

Iris
Cassandra
Tabitha
Matilda
Helena?

Beatrice
Florence
Matilda

Margot
Josephine
Daphne
Stella
Jessica

Cressida
Miranda
veronica

Verity
Phillipa
Harriet
Juliet

I really think Penelope is too much of a classic to be ruined by one celebrity. Chances are good she'll be forgotten in a few years.

I hope so Teapot...I really do love the name

Ponooloopoo

The Kardashians will have hopefully disappeared in a few years, so don't let that put you off a name that will be with her for life. It's a gorgeous name, and you can call her Penny...love it.

But others like Claudia, Cecily, Elodie, Marianne, Cecilia, Helena, Theodora, Gaia all have the same feel. But stick with Penelope!

Love Penelope

Others that appeal:

Daphne
Evadne
Phoebe
Hermione
Halcyone (pronounced Hal-see-own-ee)
Ianthe

WormCanner I LOVE Delphine! It's been my preferred girl's name since I found out I was pregnant and incredibly, my husband likes it too.

Cocolocopoco I completely agree with others who've said that Penelope Kardashian-whatsherchops will be completely forgotten in a few years (although prob/hopefully not by her parents). I think if you love it, you should stick with it. I only know one Penelope, and she's lovely.

N.B. my initial thought when reading your post was Harriet (well actually it was Arietty because Penelope Wilton was in the the BBC production of The Borrowers!)

It's a beautiful name don't let the kardashians put you off. There fame will be done & dusted in 5/10 years.
How about Poppy or Pheobe

Clementine

Francesca
Cordelia
Arabella
Serena
Vivienne
Nina
Marianne
Daphne
Louisa
Martha

My dd is penelope and was born just a few weeks before one of the kardashians named their baby the same. tbh i really dont give a hoot as my babies name suits her. we do call her penny which i also love.
