Nicknames for Penelope

Girl Names
1

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is one of those names I’ve loved since childhood (ever since my grandfather told me the shorter, more kid friendly story of the odyssey) but I honestly go on and off it because I hate the nickname [name_u]Penny[/name_u]. Which of the following do you like most as a nickname for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], which ones don’t work, and what others do you suggest? :slight_smile:

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Posey[/name_f]
[name_m]Penn[/name_m]
[name_m]Pip[/name_m]
[name_f]Pia[/name_f]
[name_u]Pepper[/name_u]
[name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]

Ooh, [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] - so spunky!

You have [name_m]Pip[/name_m] but not [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], which could be a possibility

3

I love [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] or [name_f]Lolly[/name_f]!

4

If you can get away with [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] those would be my picks.

my favorites:

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Posey[/name_f]/[name_f]Posy[/name_f]
[name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]

(although personally I would use just the nickname as the stand-alone)

6

It’s a stretch but maybe [name_u]Perry[/name_u] could work?

7

[name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], or [name_f]Pippi[/name_f].

8

Part of the reason I like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is because I love the nn [name_f]Poppy[/name_f].

9

I don’t mind [name_u]Penny[/name_u], but I love [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] or [name_f]Nell[/name_f]/[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]! So cute! I also like that it’s not a big stretch to get from [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] to [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. Feels natural, not forced.

My favorites from your list are [name_f]Posey[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f]/[name_f]Nellie[/name_f], and [name_f]Lola[/name_f]. Some suggestions are [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]/[name_m]Pippin[/name_m] and [name_u]Penna[/name_u].

As a short for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] I like…
P
[name_u]Nelly[/name_u]
Loopie
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]

12

I really like [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] but lately I have been coming round to [name_u]Penny[/name_u]

13

I feel the same way! I like Pip/Pippa, [name_u]Penn[/name_u], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] from your list. I also think Pin might work? Though it’s a stretch and [name_u]Penn[/name_u] is more intuitive
