Penelope - NN Poppy

General Name Discussion

First post, as it’s our first baby!

I am very attached to the nickname [name]Poppy[/name] - but I don’t want to give our child a nickname alone. I thought about [name]Portia[/name]/NN [name]Poppy[/name], but [name]Portia[/name] means pig! [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Penelope[/name] is too popular, and even if it is, does it make it more unique to have my daughter go by [name]Poppy[/name]? Can anyone suggest middle names that will go with [name]Penelope[/name]/[name]Poppy[/name] and the last names [name]Roberts[/name] and [name]Springer[/name]?

I think [name]Poppy[/name] is a really cute nickname for [name]Penelope[/name]!

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name]

Great ideas…I love [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]! I was just thinking about that name, as I’m watching [name]Alice[/name] right now!

I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Penelope[/name], nn [name]Poppy[/name]! It’s #358, so for me, that’s not too popular. :slight_smile:

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Frances[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Maude[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name]

Best wishes to you! :slight_smile:

Oops! I forgot about the last names!

[name]Frances[/name] doesn’t work with either name because of the S ending sound, [name]Maude[/name] doesn’t work with [name]Roberts[/name] because of the awe sounds in both names, [name]Scarlett[/name] doesn’t work with [name]Roberts[/name] (well, it’s just a bit T heavy), and the same goes for [name]Violet[/name]!

Sorry! :slight_smile:

I’ll come back in a second for more. :slight_smile:

Are [name]Roberts[/name] and [name]Springer[/name] a double last name?

[name]Love[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Poppy[/name]!

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Anna[/name] - love
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Anwen[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Ardith[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Arwen[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Carys[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Frances[/name] - love it!
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Gladys[/name] - [name]Gladys[/name] is not considered cool on Nameberry, but I’m starting to love it in a very odd way.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Helen[/name] - love it, too!
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Hollis[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Irene[/name] - Oh, what a great name combo. [name]Both[/name] names are Greek. [name]Penelope[/name] means “duck” and [name]Irene[/name] means “peace”.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - love
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lisbeth[/name] - love the rhythm in this name.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Olive[/name] - love, so Greek
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Wallis[/name]

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Poppy[/name] and I definitely don’t think [name]Penelope[/name] is not too popular. Plus, a lot of people would use [name]Penny[/name] instead of [name]Poppy[/name] as a nn, so that cuts it down even more.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I’m glad to hear from fellow name nuts that [name]Penelope[/name] is not too popular.

I think it’s such an amazing name, and I would love to hear it on a baby girl! :slight_smile:

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I have always loved the name [name]Penelope[/name] but only thought of [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name] as nicknames for it. When I found out [name]Poppy[/name] could be a nickname for [name]Penelope[/name], it made me love the name all the more! Great choice!
