If I like Penelope...

[mamatocaptainchaos]

What else would I like?

I really wanted a slightly different name but Penelope seems quite common now. I love Penny too.

I quite like boho style names. Nothing too crazy but I really don't want an 'Emma' or 'Molly'

Any ideas would be great thank you!

Romilly?

Persephone? (You could squeeze a Penny nn out of that I think).

Briony? (I love this name).

Phoebe
Constance

Daphne.

Josephine

Delilah
Victoria
Madeleine

Depends a bit what you like about Penelope. Ariadne? Persephone? Phoebe?

Or maybe other "classic slightly posh English" like Harriet, Matilda, Charlotte, Victoria.

Valerie

Fenella
Dorothea
Marjorie
Lucinda

Felicity

Hermione

Delphine
Genevieve
Alicia
Caroline

Penelope is lovely! I actually only know one, so not SUPER common where I live.

I love Persephone, nn Percy!

How about Daphne?

Or;

Valentina
Serena
Matilda
Polly
Nancy
Audrey
Merryn
Leonora

Lavinia
Dorothy
Lottie
Geraldine
Cassandra
Lulu

Constance
Helena
Dorothea
Valentine

Pamela
Caroline
Julia

Persephone - not as rare as it was - or Petronella - you could get Penny out of either of those.

Felicity is getting quite popular. Or Cecily, Cassia, Adela, Fernanda, Circe, Meredith, Lois, Stella/Estella, Annabeth...

Calliope

Inez

Araminta
Veronique
Verona
Lennon nn Lenny
Alyssa
Mallory

Loved Daphne! Was too ‘out there’ 12 years ago so she’s Pearl instead

Came on to say Romilly, beaten to it.
Persephone?

Depends.

Do you see Penelope as being a classical name, as in the wife of Odysseus?

In which case Calista, Athena, Clytemnestra, Hera, Calypso, or Artemis?

Or do you see it as more of a “1970s accomplished beauty” name?

In which case Felicity, Caroline, Jemima, Francesca, Jennifer, Minerva or Imogen?

The trouble is associations are so personal.

Google character names from Bridgerton, you May find similar style names that you like as Penelope is a character on there

Honey
Polly
Melody
Cassidy

Vivienne.
Dorothy.
Hermione.
