I love Penny!

daisypond · 05/01/2020 12:46

Alice is best out of those.
Penny is OK only if short for Penelope.
Abbi -only if short for Abigail.
Izabelle is an unusual spelling in the UK. I like the name, though.

PlantPotting · 05/01/2020 12:57

Lovely names but Alice stands out a mile as the nicest

TempsPerdu · 05/01/2020 13:00

Alice by far the nicest for me.

SauvignonBlanche · 05/01/2020 13:00

Alice is lovely, Penny is quite nice.
I take it your DH can’t spell? Hmm

Soulstirring · 05/01/2020 13:01

Alice and Penny are the best in my opinion

stokenewsarah · 05/01/2020 13:01

Alice

formerbabe · 05/01/2020 13:02

I like Penny and Abbi

I find Alice unbearably twee

PrincessHoneysuckle · 05/01/2020 13:02

Penny

Daenerys77 · 05/01/2020 13:08

Isabel, but not with a Z.

XXcstatic · 05/01/2020 13:09

Please god, if you go for Isabel (lovely name), spell it the usual way. I have a common name spelled an unusual way - think Sarah, spelled Sara. IT IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE. I have to spell out my name every frigging time I give it to anyone and they still get it wrong.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 05/01/2020 13:09

Alice is the best.
Isabel....no z
Abi if short for Abigail.
Penny....no.

Tricicorn · 05/01/2020 13:11

Alice followed by Abby but only as a nn for Abigail.

helpmum2003 · 05/01/2020 13:11

Alice.

Also like Izabelle spelt correctly though.

Penny ok but would use Penelope.

Abbi ok but would use Abigail. Most Abi s have 1 b I think.

It's a pain having a name spelt unusually.

Biscuitsneeded · 05/01/2020 13:13

Alice and Penny, nice, the other two only nice if spelled correctly!

travellover · 05/01/2020 13:13

Isabelle is nice, not with the Z. And Alice is nice too

StellaDelMare · 05/01/2020 13:14

I like Alice the best.

I'm a teacher so I'm influenced by names I hear all the time and I have only taught one Alice in my three years as a teacher!

This year I teach multiple Abbi's (various spellings) and same for Izabelle's of various spellings and nicknames.

Much prefer your choices! Grin

natlove · 05/01/2020 13:15

I think Alice is a clear winner Grin

Mamabear88 · 05/01/2020 13:50

Another vote for Alice from me. Don't like Penny. The other two are nice too if spelt properly.

PekTa · 05/01/2020 13:51

Penelope / Penny or Alice

CoffeeRunner · 05/01/2020 13:55

Alice & Penny are both very twee to me.

Abbie (Abigail) or Isabelle are both nice.

Peachbubble · 05/01/2020 14:00

I only like Alice

FluffyEggsontoast · 05/01/2020 14:05

Adore Alice @natlove

RaininSummer · 05/01/2020 14:11

Nor keen on Penny but the others are nuce so long as Isobel is spelled without a z.

TheJoxter · 05/01/2020 14:14

In order from favourite to least favourite

Alice
Penny
Izabelle but better spelt Isabelle or Isobel (or she’ll always have to be saying ‘it’s izabelle with a Z’)
Abbi
