I absolutely love Penelope. I don't mind Penny as a nickname. My favorite combos are with Iris as a first or middle name. I think it fits well with your other favorites.

I adore it. Penelope Antoinette is still in my Top 5 Girls Names, but alas, we are not having any more babies. We did not use it for our daughter because I honestly didn't care for the nickname Penny and our (then 7 year old) didn't like the strong "pee" sound at the end of the name- he thought it had teasing potential. Still, overal, fabulous name and still a personal favorite.

I like Penelope because it has spunk. Penny is my favorite NN, by far.Yes, I think it would fit in just fine with the others.

I love Penelope. I had Penelope Claire as my top name for quite a while, but as sometimes happens I think I just said it too many times and now I don't want to use it so much. I love Penny, and also Pipi. I love the longer P names like this as well as Patricia, Persephone, Perpetua, Phillipa.

I'm starting to like it more than I used to. It's a little nerdy cute. I think of Persephone as well when I think of Penelope.I think it goes great with everything by Ruby. Penelope Annora or Penelope Blythe are lovely unusual combos.I'd use the nickname Nell over Penny, but I'm not particularly opposed to Penny.

Penelope Iris is great! Irises are my favourite flower so I love throwing Iris into combos.Penelope Violet is great. Penelope Kate is very fun (I'm not usually a fan of Kate, but it sounds good here). Completely in love with Penelope Susannah! Absolutely sold! Thanks!

I love Penelope! My favorite combo is Penelope June. I love Penny for a nickname, but Nel could be cute, too. I think it sounds fine with your other names.

Penelope June is very cute- June makes it sound more homey and very 1950s housewife!

I've loved Penelope for a while now, for the same reasons as you.My favourite nicknames are Penny, Poppy and Nell.It goes very well with your other favourites. (I love Ruby and Rose too!)

I think it's fun. It's fun to say, it looks fun, it's upbeat, friendly, and bright orange. My favorite nn for it used to be Nell, but that has such a different feel from Penelope alone that now my favorite nn is Penny. Totally cute.The only combo I've ever made that I really love with it is Penelope Jane. I think the feel and color of Jane alongside it is just awesome.I think it fits right in with your other favorite names. Penelope would be the more quirky one of the group.

Penelope Jane is too cute! I really love Jane but its my mother's mn so I could never use it...I'm sure someone would interpret it as some sort of honouring :-(

It's a nice name and fits well with your other favourites. One of my friends has two daughters named Eva and Penelope.The obvious nn is Penny, can't think of others, really.

edit: Typodifferent definitely. I think it could be cute esp using the nn Penny. I think Penelope Rose goes nice and maybe Penelope Elisabeth. I don't hate it at all. nice :)
