[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]? Reasons much appreciated x
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. I just prefer the sound and the look of it.
I also have and adorable 14-month-old niece named [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], and I admit that influences my opinion a bit. 
That’s a hard one! I love the nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u] for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], but I also love the sweetness of [name_f]Daphne[/name_f].
I think I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] the teensiest bit more than [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] looks and sounds more appealing.
I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] better. It looks and sounds more appealing. I’ve never liked [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and I’ve never understood its appeal.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f].
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is okay.It’s nicknames are all awful ([name_f]Pippa[/name_f] doesn’t count) and I would assumer her parents where trying too hard to be quirky. Isn’t it used by like, 80% of celebrities too?
(You might like [name_f]Delphi[/name_f]?)
I like the a few of the nicknames for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but am not a fan of the name itself (the Kardashians ruined it for me).
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] kind of reminds me of the character from Scooby Doo, but I also kind of like it on its own merits.
I agree with this. I dislike the sound of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and its potential nicknames.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] has a nicer sound, and a range of good nicknames (I like [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] and [name_u]Penny[/name_u] best). It has a Victorian-revival sound I like.
“Daph” is not an attractive sound. [name_u]Daffy[/name_u] is a duck with a lisp.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is a nice enough meaning, and the sound of [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is pretty, but [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is ugh. If I couldn’t use [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] I would use [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Ione[/name_f], [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], etc. before [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Delia[/name_f]/[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. I, like PP, just don’t see the appeal in [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]!
Completely agree. I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] much better
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] because it is less common.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] : ))) [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] to me is dated. 80s, reminds me of the tv show [name_m]Frasier[/name_m].
I like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] because it is less frequently heard. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is on the rise. While [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is cute, [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is pretty.
Good luck to you!
[name_m]Both[/name_m] names are lovely. I think I prefer [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], however.
I prefer [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] except for one thing- I would worry about the nn Daphi (life [name_u]Daffy[/name_u] Duck).
