Girl name vote

[SJayne401]

Do you prefer Jennifer(nn Jenny), Lyra or Penelope(nn Penny)? Surname begins with a J and would be a sibling to Harry.

We were also considering Sophie or Charlotte

Jenny by far. I like JJ too.

Charlotte, Sophie & Penelope

I like Jenny but depends on what the J surname is, if you see what I mean!

Harry and Charlotte is a bit too royal. I like Penelope/Penny.

Jenny is nice

Jennifer - it's a beautiful and underused name!

Lyra is beautiful.

Lyra is nice but unfortunately always makes me think 'Liar'.

Jennifer! It would be refreshing among all the Avas and Amelias, and Jenny would be so cute for a little girl.

I think they are all lovely names!

I voted for Lyra, it has a very nice and cool meaning in my native language.

Jennifer(nn Jenny) - Great. Jen is fine too. Know a lovely one.
Lyra - awful
Penelope(nn Penny) - The Pennys I know are nice.

Jennifer as long as it goes with the surname, otherwise Penny.

Sophie and Charlotte are both lovely but popular. Sophia/Sofia is too popular. I don't like Charlie for a girl.

Lyra or Penelope

I know a teenage Lyra. I think it's beautiful.

Genevieve

I love Penny, I actually prefer it to Penelope! I think Penny and Harry go so nicely together 💕. Personally Jennifer sounds very dated, but there’s nothing wrong with it. I’m not a fan or Lyra.
Sophie and Charlotte are both timeless and lovely names!
If I had to pick a name for myself out of all of them, I’d rather be Charlotte I think

Lyra is lovely, also like Sophie.

If your surname starts with a J and you like the style of Jennifer then I don’t know how you can resist it - the alliteration and nickname JJ are very cool. Jenny is also a lovely nn - the nice sound of Penny but with a much prettier longer version than Penelope imo.

2nd choice would be Sophie - but only because it goes so well with Harry in style (there most be loads of Harry and Sophie sibsets out there).

I really like all of your name ideas. I voted for Penelope as it’s having a bit of a revival at the moment so sounds quite current, and it’s so versatile with options of Penny / Nell / Nellie.

Jennifer nn Jennie (for some reason I like it with an ie!) - classic but quite unusual right now - and Jennys are plucky lasses I find. JJ is great too.

I don’t like Penny (bit wet) and Lyra, Sophie and Charlotte are all nice but overdone.

Sophie is perfect with Harry

Lyra, definitely. Lovely name.

Lyra is beautiful.

Depends what you're looking for.

Jennifer - traditional but quite dated now. Will inevitably be shortened to Jen, Jenny or Jenna.

Lyra - very modern and literally everywhere right now. The name exploded after Ed Sheeran and his wife used it. Nearly every Lyra you meet will be under 5, so I think it could become very much synonymous with the 2020s one day (a bit like Kylie is with the 80s).

Penelope - I've always found the full name to be quite frumpy, although I like the nicknames Penny and Nell. Again it's very 'now', rising rapidly in popularity.

Charlotte and Sophie - true classics which have stood the test of time.

You wouldn't be able to automatically guess the age of a Charlotte or Sophie if you saw them written down, unlike Lyra or Penelope who are more than likely under 5, or Jennifer who you'd probably wrongly guess is 35-65 ish.

I think Sophie fits the best with Harry. A very classic pairing.

I'm a Jenny (Jennifer really), and only go by Jenny.
Jennifer just feels too formal (it was only really teachers/ other professionals that called me by my full name).
That's just my personal preference.
As I've got older I really like Jenny as an independent name, and wish I could ditch Jennifer completely as it just doesn't feel like me.
Obviously, there will be others out there who prefer Jennifer to Jenny. I'm just giving my opinion.

I love Jennifer/ Jenny. Classic, strong and very pretty too.

I love Lyra and LJ as a potential nickname I think is super fun.

I'm not too sure this thread will be too helpful though as currently the results are pretty evenly spread with all options sat at 19-21%! 😂
