Penelope?

What are your honest opinions of [name]Penelope[/name]? I like it a lot and I cannot decide if I am going to make room for it on my list or not. I want to hear everything you have to say about it good or bad. Thanks :smiley:

Iā€™m not the biggest fan, but I think that [name]Nell[/name] is sweet. Lots of nickname potential, so thatā€™s a good quality. I think the ā€˜lopeā€™ part turns me off? I see the appeal, but prefer something like [name]Calliope[/name]. Also the new Kardassian baby has this name so if popularity is a negative to you itā€™s something to consider

I know several. Itā€™s a cute name, but certainly gaining in popularity.

I think its sweet and lovely. You can by-pass [name]Penny[/name] if you want and go straight to the jauntier [name]Pepper[/name], too, which I think is pretty cool!

I never liked it, and now the Kardashian association makes it worse for me. I just donā€™t like the sound or any of the nicknames for it. I also donā€™t like the way it looks written down/typed. Itā€™s not a bad name, just nms at all.

Want to like it, but itā€™s always maintained its clunky vibe despite its recent rise in notice and use. TONS of nn potential if thatā€™s your thing; I tend to like names that are simpler and donā€™t pick up nicknames. I too would prefer its ā€œcousinā€ [name]Calliope[/name].

I really donā€™t like it. To be honest, I canā€™t take it seriously. My cousin has a family friend with a baby named [name]Penelope[/name] and every time it comes up in conversation, I find the name very jarring.

This pretty much sums up how I feel about it.

Never saw the appeal, and the Kardashian thing just finished it off.
