Penelope, Eliza or Vivienne?

Dear wise ladies of MNet,
Which name, if any, personally do you prefer? We already have a Phoebe too- if you do not like any of them, can you suggest an alternative?
Only a week to decide- argh!!

Eliza is beautiful. I find Vivienne about frilly and overdone; Penelope and Phoebe together are a little... mythical.

A bit, not about!

I think Vivienne is a lovely name for an adult but can't imagine calling a baby/toddler/child in full, and "Viv" is not a nice nickname either

Eliza and Penelope both lovely, I have an Eliza so am biased, Penelope wasn't on my list as it sounds odd with our surname but otherwise I think it's a nice name.

Eliza Smile

I don't like Penelope but love Eliza and quite like Vivienne

Penelope is so cute & could use both nickname Nell ( which i love) or Penny?

Penelope with Phoebe is gorgeous!i also love Eliza but not keen on Vivienne!

elcranko · 04/11/2013 16:38

I like Penelope the most but prefer Eliza with Phoebe. Not really keen on Vivienne.

CountingStars · 04/11/2013 16:40

Really like Eliza, might have to steal it!

tweetytwat · 04/11/2013 17:08

I love all of them. But IMHO Eliza goes better with Phoebe.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 04/11/2013 17:21

Love the nicknames for Penelope - goes nicely with phoebe too

SS3J · 04/11/2013 17:23

I prefer Vivienne, but I would use the version Vivien, as I prefer it less flowery. Eliza is nice, but quite popular these days, and Penelope I just don't like. All a matter of taste though of course!

Mumrose · 04/11/2013 17:32

Eliza is a beautiful name Smile

OnesieTwosie · 04/11/2013 20:56

Eliza works best with Phoebe.

Amythesianwaterfall · 04/11/2013 21:45

Fabulous! Eliza it is then:)
Thank you:)
