I used to like it but now it just reminds me of the Kardashians.

I love it. NN Poppy is my favourite but I like Nell and Penny as well.

Alita7 · 23/06/2014 18:57

Sorry I don't like it!

KatieKaye · 23/06/2014 18:59

Love it. Penelope or Penny for short.

fattycow · 23/06/2014 19:41

I like it!

Toadsrevisited · 23/06/2014 19:43

Love it. Also Persephone and Hermione are lovely.

Like it.

jeee · 23/06/2014 19:45

Penelope is beautiful, and Penny's lovely, too.

RAFWife12 · 23/06/2014 20:58

I love the name Penelope and nickname Penny. I wanted it on our shortlist but DH vetoed it for no good reason Sad

burgatroyd · 23/06/2014 21:03

Love it but would have it said in full

halfdoneharris · 24/06/2014 15:18

If you love it and can't find anything to rival it, then it sounds like you have found your girl's name.
PS. I think Penelope is a lovely name - I grew up with one and she was fab. She was a Penny or a Pen

deadwitchproject · 24/06/2014 15:43

I like Penelope but would have nn Nell

mrsnec · 24/06/2014 16:12

Penelope and Persephone were both on my shortlist. Dh hates them both though, Persephone he just thought wasn't us and Penelope because we both had a boss by that name he didn't like! I still love both though.

BeckaH123 · 24/06/2014 16:53

Sorry, not a fan personally. To me it sounds a bit like a panto character or something. Also yes, the Kardashians spring to mind.

Bowlersarm · 24/06/2014 16:56

Don't like it, sorry.

BreeVDKamp · 24/06/2014 17:14

Really like it. Didn't like it for a long time but it's growing popularity has made it grow on me

Notso · 24/06/2014 17:15

I really don't like it or Persephone.

I love Nell though.

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 24/06/2014 17:23

I don't like Penelope. Penny's nice though

thegreengreengrass · 24/06/2014 18:37

I think it's a lovely name. I prefer the nn Nell to Penny.

AMI88 · 24/06/2014 18:39

Like it- I just think lady Penelope! X

HappyTalking · 24/06/2014 20:06

I really like it. I like Penny too.
