I'm rather in-between on Penelope, myself. It's pretty and nice to look at, but I'd never use it. I think I'd like it better if it weren't so popular. I always feel a little...mm, "envious" of it, I guess, because there are so many Greek myth names that I like better than it, but they can't seem to touch it in popularity and get called "weird" while no one bats an eye at Penelope. Ho-hum.

I also think I'd like it better if I could connect it more with the character in The Odyssey, but the translation of the book I read spelt it Penelopeia, so there's not even much of a mythological connection in my mind.

I do love Penny as a nickname, however (though I prefer Nell).
