Lucy or Penny?

[supersonicginandtonic]

We are currently expecting a baby. Don't know the sex yet. We have a boys name set in stone but not a girls.
What are people's thoughts on Penny and Lucy?

We have also thrown around the idea of Francesca, known as Frankie after a family member but not too sure.
Thanks in advance

I prefer Lucy to Penny. Lucy is probably a bit more common but I don’t hear either very often

Francesca is a lovely name.

They're all lovely but I love Penny. I knew a Penny whose full name was Persephone.

Lucy. I liked the name for DD but DH said he went to school with a horrible Lucy so that was out ( to be fair I had the same reason for refusing to consider Heather! ). You don't realise how many people you've disliked throughout your life until you come to name your children!!

Lucy. I know more Pennys than I do Lucys, FWIW.

Lucy, by a long way. It's so simple, neat and pretty. I really love it.

Penelope is nice but I'm not as keen on Penny.

I dislike Francesca & particularly Frankie with a passion so I couldn't vote for those.

I love Lucy and actually would discount Penelope (a name I really like in full) because I’m not overly keen on Penny and feel it would be inevitable

Penny is lovely as is Francesca. I’m really not a fan of Lucy. Personally, I find it twee.

Love penny and francesca

Lucy, unless Penny is going to be short for Penelope.

All are lovely names; I know hordes of Lucys though, so my vote goes to Penny!

Lucy

Thank your opinions so far. Much appreciated

Definitely Penny, every Penny I've known have been lovely, Lucy's not so much.

Both lovely especially Lucy. But I really like Penny too. Hate Francesca though sorry. Way too frilly compared to your other lovely names.

Lucy

Lucy, because Penny makes me think of money.

Difficult, I have relatives called both of these names and like them both! I think Lucy is the better choice though, it's more versatile somehow.

Lucy!

Lucy is lovely

Penny (Penelope) definitely. I wanted to be Penelope Pitstop when I was younger!

Penny

Lucy and then penny. I dont know many of either.
Dislike Francesca, sorry!
Lucy is Latin and means light which I think is lovely!

Lucy. I love it!

I also like Penny but only as a nickname.

I really like Francesca as well.

Lucy, not keen on Penny.

Francesca is my favourite
Then Lucy
Dislike Penny
