Which girl's name?

Penelope, Robyn or Elise?

Current top 3. Siblings are Noah, Sophia & Chloe (I know the all have O in them but that's coincidence!). Will be Luca if it's a boy.

Would Robyn get called Rob/Robbie? I'd hate that! Would Elise become Ellie?

Also toyed with Isabelle (which I adore but HATE izzie), Lara, Poppy, Amaya, Posy and Alyssa/Alessia.

Robyn

You could get Posy or Poppy from Penelope. Nellie or Penny are cute too.

I like Robyn and Elise, not Penelope so much personally. I like all the other names you've suggested, especially Lara and Alyssa.

I love Penelope. A very close family friend has a child called Elise. It's very classy and not that common IMO. Penelope is quirky and elegant.
I am a bit meh about Robyn in comparison

I have a Robyn in the family. She's always Robyn or bobs.

Robyn, I love it

Elise is the best, beautiful, classic, yet simple :) there's also the Elyse spelling, or the slightly spunkier Eliza.

Another vote for Alice. Elise would be my choice from your list. Gone right off Robyn & never liked Penelope; no idea why so many people love it. Each to their own I suppose?Confused

Penelope.

Robyn is (I'm really really sorry) ugly sounding and not a pretty name to read either. it's a bit stumpy, quite masculine and the nn would be - Rob or Robbie, probably.

Not keen on Poppy, I think it's too "of the moment' - it'll be tomorrow's Jenny Grin or Rachel or Karen.

Also, love Alice as some PP has said.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/11/2016 01:54

I really like Robyn and Elise but think that Penelope is quite ugly. Although Penny is lovely.

Pemba · 27/11/2016 02:28

Elise is much the prettiest of your top three. Lara or Isabelle are gorgeous and Alyssa is pretty too.

goldenrachita · 28/11/2016 10:50

They are all nice but I think Elise is the prettiest and also the best match for the other names. Penelope is too grand/a mouthful to fit with the other shorter names. I like Robyn but only for a Christmas baby.
