Sibling for Penny

slvh · June 29, 2018, 6:30am

I’ve come to get suggestions for our second baby and sibling to [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u]!

We’ve got super long lists for both boy and girl and I would love some opinions on what would sound great with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. We loved [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]/[name_u]Penny[/name_u] from the get-go and now with this second baby, we just have a bunch of names we sort of love.

We like old fashioned/vintage names that are well established names (So newer names like [name_u]Everly[/name_u] or [name_f]Aria[/name_f] are not really our style)
Must have spunky nickname option or two
Middle names are honour names, so they won’t impact the first name at all
Nothing super popular. In our area, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]/[name_u]Penny[/name_u] is incredibly rare so even though it’s pretty high on the list, we’ve never run into any.
Last name ends in -ell, so nothing that would rhyme.

So what boy or girl names would make a great sib set with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]/[name_u]Penny[/name_u]?

I have found some names that may interest you. They may be totally wrong for your style though – if you post some names off your longer lists, it would be helpful even if you haven’t found ‘the one’ yet. Also, it is useful to know the middle names you have chosen, even if they are set in stone – to help with the flow of the combo.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] &
*[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] ([name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Bea[/name_f])
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f] ([name_f]Gina[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_u]Georgie[/name_u])
[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] ([name_u]Gwyn[/name_u], [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f])
[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] ([name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lin[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f])
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] ([name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Minna[/name_f])
*[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] ([name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_u]Lee[/name_u])
[name_f]Eudora[/name_f] ([name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_u]Rory[/name_u])

*[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] ([name_u]Toby[/name_u])
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] (Wilf, [name_m]Will[/name_m], [name_m]Fred[/name_m])
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] ([name_u]Bertie[/name_u])

Some were chosen for sound, some for how they flow with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and some for their ties to Greek. Those with stars are in the US top 1000 but their other merits meant I couldn’t leave them out solely on popularity reasons.

Wildcard: I would also suggest [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. Although she sounds more modern (but actually has links to a 4th Century saint of physicians) [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] & [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] sound just gorgeous and distinctive as a sibset. [name_f]Mia[/name_f] or [name_f]Immy[/name_f] could be possible nicknames.

The middle names for a girl I am throwing around are [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_u]Dale[/name_u]. All have great meaning and we will probably choose based on what first name we end up going with and how it fits with it.

So many of the names we have on our list have actually been listed by you guys, which is awesome.

So far we have:
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Winnifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]/[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]

A couple of our favorites ([name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] for example) have been used by family members or super close friends, so unfortunately they’re off the table for us.

One of my favorite combos is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Dale[/name_u] with the nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f] ( like the initials [name_m]ED[/name_m], but I’m not sure that’s too out there and I would seem crazy. Haha. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is my grandmother so it’s a name very dear to my heart.
