Re: British names
in reply to a message by dahlia
we know Penelope is a Greek name, and a beautiful one, but some people just associate the bearers as British. My friends Aunt Jenny, who is now 30, was going to be named Penelope, but this was changed to Jenny. In Jenny's words "I'm so glad I wasn't a Penelope. It's posh, stupid, and no one would ever say it right - just like that Pers-ef-phone" I giggled, and would never admit to her that, being a name nerd, I know it as Persephone :)
