[Opinions] Penelope
Sorry that I've been posting a lot lately. Last one for a while.What do you think of Penelope? It's another one that's really growing on me. I also think the nn Penny is adorable.I was checking out the popularity and see that's it's moved up about 300 spots in the past 3 years. Oh well, I don't see it ever getting popular or moving into the classic trendy category.Comments?Thanks,Jamie

I love Penelope and the NNs Penny, Nellie, Nina, Popi (Greek), Poppy and Pippy.If it continues to grow in popularity, it would defintely be in the classical revival category. However, a slight popularity spurt does not always translate to major popularity in the future. Time will tell. I'm pretty sure it won't hit #1 anytime soon though. LOL But who cares either way? It's a great name. If you like it, use it. Don't worry about popularity.Btw, it rose 300 spots over 4 years, which does change things.2004: 640
2003: 708
2002: 712
2001: 942Given these numbers and its previous history, I doubt it will rise much for 2005.

I like Penelope. I like Penny or Nellie as nn. Polly or Poppy are other nn options.Even if it is getting more popular, I don't think it will be the next Emily."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

300 spots in 3 years = trendyMost names that speed up like that do that. I haven't seen a single Penelope though!I don't like Penny, but I looove Nell. In a series that I read there are sisters Penelope, Iris, Helen`and I can't remember the rest. I always thought that was a lovely sibling set.
