I never hear this nickname being suggested for Penelope... what do you think of it?

What do you think of the nickname [name_f]Nella[/name_f]? I actually think it’s really pretty even as a stand alone name. I never hear it being considered or suggested and was wondering what everyone thinks of it?

I’m not fond of [name_u]Nelly[/name_u] (reminds me of the rapper) and [name_u]Penny[/name_u] is cute but I hear it a lot. [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] I feel like is a bit of a stretch.

So whats the verdict? is [name_f]Nella[/name_f] is cute or weird?

I think it’s adorable.

I like it. :slight_smile:

It’s better than [name_u]Nelly[/name_u].
My favorite nickname for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is [name_f]Pippi[/name_f].

The first thing I thought was salmonella. I don’t understand why you have to have a nickname.

It reminds me of Vanilla, but it is cute.

You definitely don’t have to have a nickname for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], but [name_f]Nella[/name_f] is really sweet and creative :slight_smile:

I don’t care for any of the [name_f]Nell[/name_f]/[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Nella[/name_f] names, sorry.

I like [name_u]Penny[/name_u] and [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] the best of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]'s nicknames. [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] is underused [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I could maybe even live with [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], but I don’t like it as much.

[name_u]Pepper[/name_u] is a great suggestion and definitely underused. My only concern is that there is a film about a pig called [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] AND of course there is Peppa Pig. I wonder if the double piggies might be too much to resist if picked up in the playground?

Actually, I like it. I prefer [name_f]Nella[/name_f] than [name_u]Nelly[/name_u] or [name_u]Penny[/name_u].

Sounds beautiful.

[name_f]Nella[/name_f] is great, and is the name of a wonderful author from the 20’s, [name_f]Nella[/name_f] [name_m]Larsen[/name_m].

[name_f]Nella[/name_f] is pretty cute.
The only [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] I knew [name_m]IRL[/name_m] (now in her 20s) went by [name_f]Loulou[/name_f].

[name_f]Nella[/name_f] is just adorable !!

I definitly prefer it to [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] or [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] .

[name_u]Pepper[/name_u] & [name_f]Loulou[/name_f] are another great suggestions .

[name_u]Pepper[/name_u] is my favorite but I am totally loving [name_f]Nella[/name_f] right now. Either way [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is a lovely name. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Nella[/name_f] is lovely and so is [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

Agreed! I like simple [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (probably because I adore [name_f]Nell[/name_f] from NCIS: Los [name_f]Angeles[/name_f]!), but I’ve never liked [name_u]Nelly[/name_u]. It just isn’t cute to me, and since the rapper came to be, I always think of him, as well. I don’t know about [name_f]Nella[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f], so I feel like I should love it.

My favorite nns for it are [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f], but I like [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]/[name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u], and [name_f]Nell[/name_f], too.

It totally works. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f].

Thanks everyone! I am really liking it as an unexpected nickname for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I first heard of [name_f]Nella[/name_f] in a humanities lesson and LOVED it. I have wondered why it didn’t get suggested at all. I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] all the [name_f]Nell[/name_f]/[name_u]Nelly[/name_u]/[name_f]Nella[/name_f] like names really.
