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

Do you think if we go with Penny it would be better to have Penelope on the birth certificate?

Lucy! I only like Penny as a nickname for Penelope.

I just think put what you want on the birth certificate. Penny would be lovely. @supersonicginandtonic
Still I vote Lucy

My daughter's middle is Francesca. I like it but prefer as a middle name. I know both Penny and Lucy both are nice, for some reason Lucy seems more usuable right from baby to adult.

I Love Lucy!🧡😏
Lovely name.

Lucy - simple and classic - I don't think you can go wrong!
I love Penelope but less keen on Penny
I don't particularly like Francesca. If you use this then make sure you're happy with all the nn as she may decide to go by Fran/Chess/Franny when older.

Lucy - it’s a classic for a reason, I think it will age well.
I think there are a lot of baby Penny’s at the moment, and it’s a bit twee for me personally.

Don’t like Penny, don’t know why. Just screams ‘girl who cries at everything and has pigtails’ to me. Prefer Lucy out of those 2 but love Francesca the most.

I think DP is swinging more towards Lucy at the moment.

Lucy

Lucy.

I like both but prefer Lucy

Prefer Lucy or have you thought about Lucille? I really like that name.

I prefer Lucy but they are two-a-Penny around here. I love Penny (Big Bang fan) but not keen on Penelope.
Frankie is a very distant third.

@TenThousandSpoons we love Penny as we're big music fans. I feel the same way as you abut Penelope

I like Francesca, then Penny, then Lucy. But all pretty choices 😊

I read a thread previously where everyone hated the name Lucy, iys nice to hear some people like it. My name is Lucy and I like it. I think it suits all ages. I've only known nice Lucy's!

I like Penny or Penn for Penelope but it sounds unfinished without the longer form.
There is a reason that Lucy is popular and that is beacause it is a pretty name , with history that is easy to spell and pronounce.
I like them both a lot.

I like Francesca best. Really dislike Lucy because I've never met a nice one and I know far too many dogs called Penny.

Lucinda nn Lucy. Not too keen on Penny.

I have never met a nice Lucy, so Penny.

Penny can be a standalone name.
Lucinda seems a long name for the sake of it and Lucy is much nicer.

I prefer Lucy but I'm biased

@seriousandloyal my Lucy gets lengthened to Lucille

Lucy.
Penny only if short for Penelope.
Francesca is nice but not Frankie.

Definitely not Lucinda or Lucille, they don't fit with our other children's names. It's difficult finding a fit when you have other children.
