Copying another thread because I liked the idea!

Sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful.

One of my favourite names.

My friend Penny is quite posh. She's a teacher. She's sporty and very competitive at everything. Even dominoes.
She's been a good friend though. Very faithful.

Frankly, mine’s daft as a brush.

Fizzy and long legged.
Posh and adventurous and down to earth.

She’s a gorgeous girl with long grey fur. Had a rough start in life but found a lovely family and lived happily ever after.

IME all 3 are stuck up bitches who use people while buttering them up but I'm probably just unlucky in the ones I've met.

Posh, horsey and you don’t mess with her.

Tasha32 · 08/09/2018 20:09

My daughter's called penny, she cute & funny & very loving. It's a beautiful sweet name😊

Posh and Head Girl at school. A good name.

irregularegular · 08/09/2018 20:14

Posh and a bit bossy

I know three.

One is a woman I grew up with on a council estate, can have a real laugh with no airs or graces

One is nine year old. Average kid

One is a little fairy who does ballet

Classic, serious - for Penelope. Penny is awful - demeaning, like you're not worth very much, someone with an inferiority complex.

Immaculate blonde bob, pretty, well spoken, smart but not academic, works either as a professional PA at a law firm or accountancy practice, or front desk of a beautician.

Penelope= tall, willowy, whimsical and creatively intelligent
Penny= stout, bossy and dull
No idea why as my perceptions are very unreasonable as Penny is a nn for the name but can’t help it

I think of Penny from The Rescuers
Sweet, precocious girl who is well-mannered and friendly. A clever and witty but gentle girl who treats everyone with kindness. A bit of a bookworm.
