Re: Penelope?
in reply to a message by Sofia
I've always liked it - it's not my favourite, but it's classic and uncommon, yet not weird. The usual nn is Penny, of course, but in a London newpaper BA last week I saw Poppy as the name to be used as the nn from the start (with Penelope as the registered birth name). Poppy is becoming popular in Britain, but I applaud those parents for giving their baby a sensible name to fall back on!

As a big fan of Poppy I like the idea!
