Penny or Indie?

[sibbys]

Really love these names. I'm due in forever with our 3rd child (girl) and would love to hear opinions on both names!

We could still change our minds but right now these two are on the top of our list! If you have similar names on your girl's list please do mention them.

These are not nicknames as I live in Scandinavia and people here don't really do nicknames.
So Penny and Indie as they are.
(I know India is a "proper" name, but I've never been there and I don't want to name my child after a place I don't know if I like).

I love Penny. Not so keen on Indie.

I think they are equally lovely I'd probably sway towards Indie but that's just because it's slightly more my taste

Indie gets my vote. Really dislike Penny but it seems really popular on here

I prefer penny- indie to me means independent business/alternative teenager

At the moment in Scotland, there are a few folk who are trying to get up a campaign for a second referendum on Independence. Their slogan is Indy-Ref 2. So that is what I think of when I hear the word Indie/Indy. But if is unlikely to affect you, as you say you are not in the UK.

I like Penny. I don't know any, and I only know one lady whose name is Penelope, and she is 60+. The only other Penny is the one in the Big Bang Theory on TV (a lovely funny character, nothing to worry about there).

I like them both but penny I prefer more but if it was India I would prefer that

I prefer Penny.

Love Indie. Hadn't heard it before my DC started doing PE with Joe

I ♥️ Indie

I'd go for Penny. Indie makes me think of my son's awful taste in music.

Indie for me my daughters name

Indie Marie she's called xx

Of the two, Indie.

If it was Penny short for Penelope I'd choose that.

I love penny. Indie is a dogs name for me

I prefer Penny. Indy makes me think of nascar.

I would consider to be short for India or independent. I know you don't want to name your baby after a country you don't know if you'd like. Indie is too close to India so I would think it was short for India.

I like both but prefer Penny.

Both are quite cutesy. Indie reminds me of indie music - I don't hear it as a name. (Before people attack me, yes, I'm aware it is a name, I just don't think of it as one when I hear it)

Penny seems to be coming back into fashion but I'm not sure if I like it.

I'd probably go for Indie simply because it looks nicer written down.

Indie is my favourite of the two but it's so popular now so I would chose Penny instead

Quite a few Indies/Indys now, both male and female.
Not keen on either. Penny at a push.

Love both! Its all relative I know but I wouldn't say indie is "so popular" myself. It's outside the top 230 names and even if you add all the "India" and "Indie"s together the total names still wouldn't reach the top 100 chart @Nachonacho

Penelope is number 48 in the chart so if a high proportion of them are known as Penny you'll probably find that's the more commonly used name. But who knows. Both are excellent choices

@cptartapp the name "Indy" (spelt that way) is outside the top 1,000 names!!! Only 20 babies were given this name
Indie is outside the top 200 for girls and outside the top 3,000 (!!!) for boys. 5 boys were given the name Indie in a year!

Indie is the one. 👍🏻

Wow, I'm surprised! Such good feedback - thanks!!
