Dawn - I like the sound, it's very sweet and pretty, but too outdated (even as middle name imo). I can only picture it on a grandmother.
Penelope - One of my favourite names.
Even longgg before it became so popular. Why did it become so popular? It's so different in style to the other popular names. (genuine question). I love the nickname options as well;
Pip,
Poppy,
Nellie,
Penny etc
Marietta - I know an 101 year old woman named
Marietta. She's a hoot! She doesn't mince her words and she's quite proud. I think this describes the name as well.
Dawn Marissa,
Penelope August,
Marietta Evangeline
