Re: How do you pronounce Penelope?
in reply to a message by LH
Once I knew a girl whose nickname was Lopes - actually, her nickname was Penny (she never used her actual name) and Lopes (rhyming with ropes) was a pun on that. But that's all it was: a silly joke. I have never encountered anyone who seriously believed that Penelope could sound like Pennylope, and I hope I never do.
