We've had a gender scan on Saturday and it was confirmed bump is a girl. We have 3 names we like but we really can't choose.
The choices are;
Eleanor
Lucy
Penelope.

Thoughts please. Thank you

Penelope -
Fun, would suit perfectly a girl and woman.
But it does make me think of Kardashia.
Current popularity = #41
Meaning: Weaver

Eleanor -
Classic, beautiful. An array of nicknames to choose from (Nora, Nori, Elle, Ella, Nora, Ellie)
I would possibly avoid as El names are common atm (Elle, Ella, Eloise, Ellie, Elsie etc etc)
Current popularity = #52
(Ellie = #63)
Meaning: Light

Lucy -
Classic, sweet.
Current popularity = #61
Meaning: Light

Light Weaver :)

They're all lovely names. Which goes best with your surname? I think the best combinations of first and middle names would be

Lucy Penelope
Lucy Eleanor
Eleanor Lucy

Penelope/Penny is nice but I don't think Lucy or Eleanor would flow well as a middle name.

Penelope Harriet
Penelope Jasmine
Penelope Faye

There are loads of baby Penelope's around at the moment. Not keen on Lucy and Eleanor, but do like Nora which someone else mentioned.

Penelope Eleanor would be an Amazing name for ur new Baby x Congratulations

I think it all depends on areas as there are hardly any Penelopes around here. Evelyn and Willows are the most popular names at present.
Our surname is 2 syllables.
