I like it.
Are you thinking Penelope as the full name or just ‘Penny’? Both are cute.

(Only asking as I know a Penelope whose nn is Peggy)

No, not for me. Penelope is nice. A penny is too cheap.

I have a Molly GrinGrin

My next door neighbours little girl is Penny. It’s a sweet name and I like it

TheThingWithFeathers · 03/05/2020 16:06

Penny is a lovely name and goes nicely with Molly. Smile

amber763 · 03/05/2020 16:14

Really lovely

Windyatthebeach · 03/05/2020 16:26

I know a Molly. Her dsis's are Philippa and Olivia.

LotusClover · 03/05/2020 16:27

@daisypond I see what you did there! ;) Grin

I think Penny is lovely and works perfectly fine as a standalone name. Goes well with Molly too.

Blursula · 03/05/2020 16:31

Really dislike it, sorry. But Penny and Penelope seem very popular on here

Lifeaback · 03/05/2020 16:37

I love it OP! I’m a big fan of ‘old’ style names but know they can be a bit like marmite. Works well as a sibling to Molly too.

87Callista · 03/05/2020 17:16

Stop Lying to us OP your husband is called Molly isn't he!?

Penny is nice. I'm not thrilled by it but I'm not thrilled by 99.9% names so that's not saying much. Penny and Molly do make an utterly adorable combo though.

OhLook · 03/05/2020 17:18

To me it brings to mind a small, quiet, mousey, Victorian servant type of person.

Sb131216 · 03/05/2020 17:42

I absolutely love it, it's a family name and likely to be middle name spot on our list this time but we named a pet penny/penelope and I don't think it can be first name because of that (silly mistake!)

SionnachRua · 03/05/2020 18:07

Drippy and mousy are the first words into my head. The Victorian servant description a PP gave was spot on for me!

sibbys · 03/05/2020 18:30

@SionnachRua Haha, that really made me laugh!

It's awful but i think of the smell of 1ps

Wheresthebiffer2 · 03/05/2020 19:25

I'm re-watching the boxset of the Big Bang Theory - featuring the lovely character Penny.

riotlady · 03/05/2020 19:27

Love it

Whatsyourflava · 03/05/2020 19:42

LOVE IT!

123Dancewithme · 03/05/2020 22:51

It goes well with Molly

Nonnymum · 03/05/2020 22:56

I love it. I know a Penny ans she is nothing like the descriptions of :SionnachRua or OhLook she is a strong, independent, intelligent woman.

TimeWastingButFun · 03/05/2020 22:58

The only Penny's I've ever met have all been dogs! It sounds a bit twee.

BaronessBomburst · 03/05/2020 23:03

I prefer Penelope with Penny as a nickname.
