I love [name]Penelope[/name]. My first thought was [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Louise[/name] nn [name]Penny[/name] [name]Lou[/name]. 
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] is sweet!
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Rae[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Paige[/name] (I know youre not set on allit. again, but throwing a few out there)
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] ([name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Penny[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is just too much cute)
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Skye[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Cate[/name]
[name]One[/name] very sing-song option we considered (but have since sort of abandoned…) [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Blue[/name].
I like [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Louise[/name] shortened to [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] or [name]Penny[/name]
Thanks everyone! I think we love [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] nn [name]Penny[/name] [name]Lou[/name]. I really like [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] too. Our top contender is [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Hazel[/name], but [name]Penny[/name] [name]Lou[/name] or [name]Penny[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] could be the one.
I like [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Belle[/name]. With [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name], you’ve got the alliteration (assonance, actually) thing going on. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Belle[/name] carries over that ‘elle’ sound, and it’s cute.
I have never liked the name [name]Penelope[/name] at all, but [name]Belle[/name] is pretty. So I would say that if you love [name]Penelope[/name], go for [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Belle[/name].
I adore [name]Penelope[/name], but it’s huge leaps in popularity the past few years has really taken it off of my usable list - that being said, [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] is so sweet and endearing and really works. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Louise[/name] may flow a bit better? Maybe tats just me. Beautiful name either way.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] flows the best out of your choices, but I happen to not be fond of the middle name [name]Lou[/name]. Grew up with too many girls whose middle name was [name]Lou[/name].

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lark[/name]

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Rowan[/name]

I love [name]Penelope[/name] as you can see in my signature. I’m usually not huge on nn’s but [name]Penelope[/name] has such sweet ones to offer. [name]Penny[/name], [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Pippa[/name]. Despite the alliteration I just adore [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Pearl[/name].
Some other options might be
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] (I like that one from your suggestions very cute)
For the most part I think Penlope goes best with a shorter, classic name.
I like the suggestion of [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name].
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]. It was always my top girls name. Unfortunately it’s been rising in popularity and will get a huge jump in the near future due to the newest Kardashian. I’m looking for a just as cute replacement in which my future daughter won’t share her name with 3 other kids in the class. This is especially important to me since we have a really common last name. I am having no luck just yet. Any suggestions? So far I sort of like [name]Calliope[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Talia[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], and [name]Delilah[/name].
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Penelope[/name], and the nickname [name]Penny[/name] is so cute for a little girl. It is classic and old fashioned, just like [name]Mattie[/name]. I like [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name], maybe [name]Louise[/name]? [name]Kate[/name]? [name]Jane[/name]?
oh goodness, I didn’t know there was a new Kardashian named [name]Penelope[/name]. I don’t keep up with that family, but unfortunately I think you’re right. People are naming their girls [name]Khloe[/name] all over the place now and I hate it.
[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]! It’s a top contender if we have a girl. I like [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] [name]June[/name], and [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Belle[/name] the best! I normally like alliterations but PP is just one I would not do, personally. I think it has a lot of teasing potential. But if it doesn’t bother you [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is gorgeous!
I think, as a best match to [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is the winner. [name]Penny[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] & [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]-- obvious alliteration. [name]Pearl[/name] has the same vintage feel as [name]Mattie[/name] and [name]Mae[/name], and [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Mattie[/name] are similar diminutives. I think it works better than [name]Sadie[/name], unless you were thinking of [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Sue[/name]…
Definitely not [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Sue[/name], perhaps [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Lou[/name]. [name]Sue[/name] is my mother in law’s name and it’s not really something we want to use. Although, [name]Lou[/name] is not my favorite middle name with [name]Sadie[/name]. All in all though it seems like a positive response to Penelope as a sibling for Mattie Mae. I was worried no one would think it works as a sibset.
I have always liked [name]Penelope[/name] but not the nn [name]Penny[/name], I think [name]Polly[/name] is a much better nn. However, i suspect that penelope is going to get a Kardashian inspired bump. If that matters to you
I looove [name]Penelope[/name]. Darn Kardashians. (and the Beckhams ruining [name]Harper[/name] for me.)
the nn I love to [name]Penelope[/name] is [name]Nel[/name]. BUT I love [name]Penny[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Mattie[/name] [name]Mae[/name], so that would be my vote from your list.
I love [name]Penelope[/name]! [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Lou[/name] is my favorite of your combos. I also love the suggestion of [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name]!
