Opinions on Penelope

[Cleo2628]

Please

Love it, and Penny for short :)

I love it.

Nice, with Penny for short.

Or Nell for short.

I Like it. Also like Penny as a nn.

Nice but quite common now.

Not keen. I do like Penny.

Gorgeous.

Preferably with Nell as a diminutive rather than Penny.

I love it but I’ve just seen a fourth or fifth baby Penelope born in my circle of acquaintances. I think it’s becoming very popular, so might be something to consider if that bothers you

I love it. It's my DD1s name and we've always called her Nelly

Really lovely name

Quite like it but don’t like Penny. Like Nell/Nelly though

I really like it. Some people say it's getting popular but I don't know of any so it may depend on where you live.

I love Penny, but not keen on Penelope. Don't know why!

It's ok but always makes me think of Penelope pit stop from wacky races lol can't take it seriously as a name because of it

Lovely. Lots of them under 3.

Love!

Would ace been DD name had my surname not made it sound ridiculous. Adore it

Thanks everyone! @duckofdoom just out if interest & if you don’t mind saying - what region do you live in?

I’m in the south east but the Penelopes are all over. A couple in Northern Ireland, one in the north west, the youngest one is in Devon and I’m sure there’s another one I’ve forgotten.

I really like it. When my DD was born I binge watched The Big Bang Theory whilst cluster feeding and almost changed her name to Penelope as a result .

Reported as this is one of three posts copied and pasted word for word from Mumsnet to Netmums by a Netmums poster called Sarah. Bloody cheek!
FWIW, op, I like Penny but my dad used to pronounce Penelope as Penny Lope!

Papergirl - maybe OP and netmummer Sarah are the same person?

I really like it, classic with good nicknames.

Penelope is a very lovely name!
I’m in SE and a huge fan of Lady Penelope (Keith)
