Pepper poppy Penelope
I have known of a girl Pepper and girl Poppy. I really like Pepper a lot was thinking it before I knew anyone that had the name. Don't like Piper. I really want to like Poppy but just don't. I like the flower but just don't like it as a name. A friend had a baby named poppy. Not sure if it's because dad's or Grandpa's could be poppy? I really like Penelope and saw it was more popular currently than I thought. I don't know if there are other nicknames besides Penny. I really don't like penny maybe because there was a pet one time.
What do you guys think of these P names?

I like Penelope. Another nickname could be Nell. I hate the others. Pepper is a seasoning and a cartoon character and Poppy is an old man and one easy typo away from your daughter wearing a school id that says poopy. I like Piper better. I wonder why you don’t like it since it fits this pattern so well. What about Pippa, Pepita, Perpetua, Pip, Pippi, or Pepa?
The only one really I like is Penelope. Piper is cutesy but okay.
I hate the others.

Penelope- I'm not crazy about the -pe ending, but I get why people like Penelope. It is an established name from classical mythology associated with a clever woman.Pepper- Rather like Ginger, it feels almost cartoonishly spicy. It does sound upbeat and playful though. I like it more on a pet than a person. Poppy - Sounds like a toddler addressing a grandpa. It sounds childish and British.
They are all very cute names. Penelope is the best of them because it is a "full name". Pepper and Poppy are nice for small children and pets, in particular. Guilty pleasure for sure. I'm not too keen on Penny, either. I like the simplicity of Pen and Penn, though.
I despise all of these.
