Penny or Edie?

[MummyofMunchkins123]

Penelope not an option. Love Edith too but would call her Edie so figure it should be Edie if we are going for that, plus not keen on Edith with chosen middle (family) name Elizabeth. Any thoughts/other suggestions most welcome. Thanks.

Personally I prefer full names so the kid has a choice / has a more grown up name for when they're an adult.

With that in mind I'd go for Edith shortened for Edie.

What about Elizabeth Edith which sounds slightly better than Edith Elizabeth

Well Penny will have people wanting to use the formal Penelope and Edie will be Edith.
I'd do this if the name wasn't written down as think it presumptuous to shorten it.

No, if she’s always called Penny, people will call her that surely. Many names are just given as short forms now.

Penny is very nice, not keen on Edie.

I love Penelope. Not so keen on Pen or Penny.

Edith sounds harsh. Edie looks like a short form of Edward or Edwin. I really dislike it.

I know 6 Edies and no penny's.

I really, really dislike both of them. Sorry.

Both very nicknamey. She may end up as Pen or Ed?!

I think Edie works better as a stand-alone name than Penny

I like both but I'd choose Penny I think.

Lovely names - love both of them
How about Jemima

Of the two, Penny, but I'd probably put Penelope on the bc.
Edie is ok but Edith is frumpy and Eden is chavvy.

Neither is a standalone name. Penny, if you really must. Edie is particularly nothingy. I would definitely put the full name on the BC.

Just seen that you’ve said Penelope is not an option, but Edith might be. In which case, Edith.

Edie, not keen on Penny at all

I only like them if they’re short for Penelope and Edith. I think Edith Elizabeth sounds fine!

I prefer penny elizabeth

Edie will probably be mispronounced as Ed-ie rather than Eedie.

Do you like watching Balmory op??

Balamory even!!

Really like Penny. I don’t see it as a shortened version of Penelope anymore, not with so many shortened names being on birth certificates

I prefer Penny. Edie is getting too popular. I know quite a few

I like Penelope.

But a penny is a coin. Not a fan personally.

Edith sounds harsh.

Thanks for your feedback, any other suggestions? X

Why does someone always mention Jemima, it’s awful!

Anyway, both are nice names op, I’d go for Penny.
