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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
