Penelope?

My husband brought this name up a few nights ago, and says it’s his new favorite. What do you think? What middle names would work well with it?

I’ve always loved the name [name]Penelope[/name]! My favorite combo for it is [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name], I just don’t think you can get a sweeter name than that. I love the initials P.J., too, I don’t normally like initial names, but I really [name]LOVE[/name] P.J. I think the only middle name that really doesn’t work with [name]Penelope[/name] is [name]Hope[/name]. Makes me want to say [name]Pen[/name]-el-ope [name]Hope[/name], instead of [name]Pen[/name]-el-o-pee.

I’ve got a great friend called [name]Penelope[/name] who is 31 but I haven’t heard it come back in trend for years. We always call her [name]Penny[/name] or [name]Pen[/name]. I’ve only heard it shotened to these names. If you love it as [name]Penelope[/name], you may need to use it as a middle name so it doesn’t get shortened.

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Grace[/name],
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Sofia[/name]

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Penelope[/name], it’s so beautiful! Try
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Anna[/name] (has more charm than [name]PEnelope[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]IMO[/name], but still a nice middle)
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Saffron[/name]?
[name]Penelope[/name]… [name]Rose[/name]?
[name]DO[/name] you have anyone you want to honour with her name? or what middle names do you like?

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] Stroud
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] Stroud
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] Stroud
[name]Penelope[/name] Rosabel Stroud
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Tamsin[/name] Stroud
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] Stroud
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Carys[/name] Stroud (although the s in [name]Carys[/name] blends with the s in Stroud…I remember you liked this name)

At first I was not at all a fan. But now it’s growing on me I think it’s very pretty. [name]Ellie[/name] is also such a great nickname! I really love
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lily[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]

I second [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name]! PJ is so adorable! and I always love a name where [name]Ellie[/name] can be the nn…for some reason i’m sort of obsessed with [name]Ellie[/name] :slight_smile:

I love the name [name]Penelope[/name]!
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Helen[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
and many more…

[name]Penelope[/name] is a great choice! I always wondered why it isn’t used more–it can be a fun name and a serious name.

Yes yes yes

I really love it. I find it sweet and whimsical and it has a lot of nicknames but [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is beautiful to say itself.

[name_u]Penny[/name_u] or [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] are my favourite nicknames for it. I’ve also heard [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]? Really most short middles go well.

I love it.
