[Opinions] Wdyt of Penny?
I really love the nn Penny, but I don't much care for Penelope. Do you think Penny could stand on its own? Should I just keep it as a name for a future dog? Do you know of any other names that could use Penny as a nn? The only one I could think of that I really like is Rupinder. It's a bit of a stretch, though. Wdyt?

It's cute enough, but nms. I like it for someone else, though. I'd be trhilled to see it pop up in birth announcements. I just wouldn't use it.I really like Penna, though, lately. Peninah nn Penna (pr PEN-ah).

I like Penny, both on its own or as a nickname for Petronella. :) Petronella might be a bit much, but I think it's really pretty. Any other name in the same family--like Peronel, maybe--would work as easily. Array

Personally, I like Penny only as a nn. Peninnah is another full name possibility, as are Penka or Aspen, but only if you like one of them! There's nothing wrong with using Penny as a full name. ;o) Although, tbh, I'm really rooting for Peninnah! :oDCheck Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layouts

Ooh, Peninnah is interesting! I'm not sure I like it but I'm certainly intrigued. ;-)

I go back and forth, myself.Sometimes I think it's great, and others, I think it's too "out there." And I grew up prn it peh-NINE-uh rather than peh-NIN-uh; with the 2nd prn, I just hear "ninny." :oCheck Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layouts

I love Penny, but then again, I love Penelope. The only others I can think of for a full name are Aspen and Peninnah.-- Sarah

My sister is Penny (not Penelope). Actually, her real name is Leona Dale and she earned the nick Penny when she was about 10 years old. You see, she'd change her allowance into pennies because it made her feel she had more money so her friends began to call her Pennies and then Penny. Anyway, she intends to change it legally one day and she loves being called Penny. It's funny, though, Penny is 15 years older than I am and yet I think she sounds younger because the name sounds so sweet and youthful.So to answer your question, I do like Penny, but traditionalist that I am, I'd use it as a nick for Penelope. Can Penny stand on its own? That's up to the individual, I suppose.

I like Penny as a standalone name or as a NN for Penelope. What about as a NN for Aspen?

It's a cute name, but it seems to be better suited for pets. My grandma's dog is named Penny. I call her Penelope, Nella, and Nellie as well. She's very cute and friendly. I also had a teacher with the first name Penny, so I can picture it on a person as well.

Yeah, I'm still not sure if I want to save it for a dog or use it on a child. I've had it in my mind as a dog name for so long!

If you like Penny then it can stand on it's own, after all you'd be calling her Penny anyway so its not like it matters that much! Personaly I'd keep it for the dog, I plan on naming a cat Penny, but there are a lot worse names out there. Don't like Rupinder. If you want to call her Penny, call her Penny, theres not need to find a name for it to come from.

It's a unit of American coins, not really an attractive baby name to me.Rupinder is lovely, though. I love Penelope, too, though with the NN Nell.I'm not a huge fan of picking a name specifically for a NN, though. If you like it, just use Penny.

I think Penny is a cute name, although I know a few Penny's, so I can totally see it used today.I don't care much for Penelope, either. It's too fussy. I think someone here has mentioned Peninah before.Leslie, lucky mommy to Scott (2000), Delaney (2002), and Larissa (2005)

I like the name Penny. I also think that it can definitely stand on it's own as a full name, for sure. Especially if you don't like Penelope, as I also don't.

I love Penny as a nn for Penelope, but I don't think it's strong enough to stans on its own.

Penny to me is not a good name, it does not sound strong or smart but its your choice. Penny sounds like a bird name

Penny for your thoughts?Thats all i can think of!
I prefer Penny by itself rather than with old frumpy Penelope.
I really cant think of anything else!
