[Opinions] Penelope

I like Penelope more and more, and (drum rolls!) my husband actually likes it. The only problem is that I'm not too keen on the NN Penny. There's nothing wrong with Penny as such, it is just so ... boring.
Do you think that a Penelope would get called Penny, automatically?
Can you think of other NN's that could work?
Is Polly ok for Penelope (even though it is not a traditional one) ?
Pella, Pe... ?

Thanks in advance, and christmas cheers.

I'm of the same mind - I like Penelope but NOT Penny. Polly could definitely work, but I'm personally not crazy about it. I prefer Nell, Nellie, Ellie or Ella. :)

I really like Penelope but dislike the nn Penny.

if I had a daughter named Penelope I'd call her Pony or Poppy.

Oh yeah, how about Nellie, Nell, Penna, Nella, Lopee, Lella, Pellie...
Is Polly ok for Penelope (even though it is not a traditional one) Probably

I really like Nell, hadn't thought of that for Penelope. Got so stuck on not liking Penny.
