I've always liked Dmitri/Dimitri. It's just one of my favorite Russian names.
Edgar I think is handsome. I'm not sure if it's quite ready for a comeback, but I'd love to meet an Edgar.
Derek, I'm a little tired of it, having grown up knowing several Dereks.
Penelope: I just like saying it. It's such an interesting sounding name.

Penelope is very sweet and I think of it as a smart name too. I like Penny as a nickname.
Derek is okay, but kind of ordinary for me, a kid of the 80s. Feels like it came from a soap opera back then, but maybe that's just me. I like Eric and Merrick better.
Edgar - the gar sound is quite ugly to me.

Penelope: one of my favourites, and given enough daughters I'd have used it happily. I like the full form, but Penny and Nell are good nns that I'd also use happily - I like names that have some versatility built in.
Dmitri: I've known crowds of Dimitri and Demitri people, all of them Greek and all shortened to Jimmy, of all things. It's a pleasant name but not one I'd use. Dmitri looks as if something's missing.
Derek: also nice, but not quite good enough to use. Perhaps not quite ready for a come-back. Where I live, there's no nn for it, which is nice, though in the UK I think it becomes Del.
Edgar: rather pleasant for its long medieval roots; Ed, Ned and Ted aren't my favourite nns, and I had an uncle Edgar whom I hardly knew, but he seemed nice enough. Once again, I'd be happy to see it used by someone else.
