Sister to Sebastian Joel.

She would be Penelope Jane.

Thanks!

I really like it, and would have it on my girls list if dh was in agreement.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/11/2016 16:55

Love it, also love Jane.

lemoncakes · 18/11/2016 17:03

Love it. It was on our shortlist for DD.

babyblabber · 18/11/2016 17:18

It's my number 1 choice for this bump if I can convince DH.

Read on here that Poppy is a nickname (as well as Penny of course!) for it which I had never heard of but made me like it even more!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/11/2016 17:39

I don't like it, Sorry

suspiciousofgoldfish · 18/11/2016 17:43

Great name.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 18/11/2016 17:57

I quite like it and I love Nellie for short.

Chinlo · 18/11/2016 17:59

It's alright. I do like the nickname Penny.

Opinions on Penelope?

Lovely! Really like Penny as a nickname, and it flows really nice with Jane.

Joinourclub · 18/11/2016 19:34

I like it, though paired with Jane it does sound like s character from a 50s children's TV programme ....'Bill and Ben and Penelope Jane'

Chinlo · 18/11/2016 19:37

Penny Jane is good.

Penny Jane, is in my ears, and in my eyes!

Elbi · 18/11/2016 20:18

It's lovely!! Hadn't thought about the Penny Jane point above though.

Flowercat16 · 18/11/2016 21:14

Penelope Jane is a lovely name.

buttercup54321 · 18/11/2016 21:18

Penelope jane is lovely and goes perfectly with your boys names. xx

SpidersFromMars · 18/11/2016 21:32

Penny or Nellie. Lovely.

Foxsox · 18/11/2016 21:34

I love it
Had also never heard of Poppy as the nn but agree that makes it more lovely 👍

Laniakea · 18/11/2016 21:35

My dd2 (7) is Penelope ... usually known as Nell or Nelly. I love it obviously!

Penelope Jane is good Grin

MollyHuaCha · 18/11/2016 21:41

It's beautiful. Go for it Wink

Pluto30 · 18/11/2016 21:52

Love it.

Unfortunately hate Penny as a nickname, but Poppy is sweet. I heard someone mention Polly as a nickname once too.

JudgeJudySheidlin · 18/11/2016 23:40

Really really dislike the name, but your choice of Penelope Jane goes very well with Sebastian Joel. I obviously like names that have the same sort of sound/amount of syllables. Didn't do it intentionally with my DC, it is just the way it happened.

KlingybunFistelvase · 19/11/2016 14:01

It's just ok for me; wouldn't think much of it, negative or positive, if I met one.

CakeRattleandRoll · 20/11/2016 00:00

Lovely

AndNowItsSeven · 20/11/2016 00:01

Love it.

PinkPlastic · 20/11/2016 08:46

Love it. Wanted it for DD3 but where we live (French speaking country) it is pronounced Penny-Lope so we went with something else. Go for it OP

KoalaDownUnder · 21/11/2016 13:12

Penelope has been quite popular here for a few years, but I really dislike it. I just don't like the sound at all.
