Nay

however, i LOVE the name Penny

I really like Pen and Penny. However, we rejected this cos Penelope is not a v nice name in our opinion. Also, some dim folk will pronounce it Penny-Lope ( a teacher did this to a Penny in my class when I was at school.)

I agree with the others - love Penny, but don't like Penelope. we tried very hard o like it for dd2, but even though we couldn't come up with another name (and didn't until she was a couple of weeks old!) we crossed it off our list.

Great name I like Penelope, and the character as well, good strong female role model.

nooka · 27/07/2008 21:16

Makes me think of Just Good Friends. Which for me is a good thing

barnsleybelle · 27/07/2008 21:19

I love Penny, but not penelope.

AbbeyA · 27/07/2008 22:26

I like it but would go for Penny and not Pen for everyday.

Nappyzoneneedsanewname · 27/07/2008 22:29

I love it to - Penny for everyday - we were going to call my DS Penny if he was a dd as he was conceived when all 3 of the family, me, dh and dd were on peniciliin!

I like Penny but not Penelope.

stealthsquiggle · 28/07/2008 14:49

I like Penny, and Penelope, but not a fan of 'Pen' for some reason.

charliecat · 28/07/2008 16:12

I dont like Pen either. Love nell. If you were going for the long version.

MrsSprat · 28/07/2008 16:15

Liking Penelope and Penny muchly. Not overboard on Pen. I think it's catching on, but not at a Grace-pace.

EffiePerine · 28/07/2008 16:16

I like Penelope a lot

lovely classical name

CantSleepWontSleep · 28/07/2008 16:29

Yay.

Legoleia · 28/07/2008 16:31

Love Penelope, Penny will come, Pen when you're calling up the stairs? All ace.

frazzledoldbag34 · 28/07/2008 16:35

Penny is lovely.
Penelope is too much of a mouthful.
Pen is also nice.
Go for it!

mamalovesmojitos · 28/07/2008 21:00

yay, love all.

Boobz · 28/07/2008 21:46
