Penelope

I am starting to go nuts. I LOVE Penelope and I'd love for it to be the middle name of my girl (if we have one), but I am having issues matching it with a first name....

Here are some thoughts:

Mia Penelope - Ava Penelope - Olivia Penelope (which I posted in another thread)

I was going to suggest using it in the FN spot too. If you are worried about flow with the name, and your DH doesn't want to call her Penelope, you could still use it as the FN but call her by her middle name. You don't have to call her by her first name.

I'm not a fan -- especially if someone decided to use the nn Penny.

Penelope has several fun nickname options besides Penny. Poppy is my favorite. Nell or Nelly are also possibilities.

For a first name, perhaps Charlotte?

I think you should stay away from super short first names if you like Penelope for a mn. It just doesn't seem to fit together.

This!

I named my dog Penelope (Penny) b/c I loved it so much so now that's the only way I can picture it, but I think it's too strong of a name to be a middle name. First name all the way!
