Re: Penelope
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Penelope a lot. I have to say I have never thought of the word "penis" in association... at all.
As a kid, I was a big fan of "Penelope Pitstop!" the Hanna-Barabara cartoon.
My sister was too, which is probably one of the reasons she named my niece Penelope.
When she used it, no one was using Penelope. However, once the Kardashians used the name, a lot more people remembered it I think. It's not as novel as it was when my niece was born... so it lost some of it's luster for me.
I DO like Penny as a nickname. My sister was going for Penna, but it didn't take. I also know a Nelly and a Nellie. I like those too, but not for Penelope.
