Too Goofy?

[kellsbells]

The other day I said to DH, "I really like this name but it's one that probably a lot of people hate . . . Penelope and Penny for short." He responded that he also loves the name and so I thought, "That was easy!" A few days later I realised, our last name is Nicholls and so Penny Nicholls is like a joke name. Get it? Like Penny, Nickels, American coin names. So I told him it was out. But it just keeps returning too our minds.

What do you think? About the combo with the last name and also feelings about Penelope/Penny in general? We like well-known names, in original spellings, but not in the top 50. Thanks.

I like Penelope. The one I know is Pene for short (pronounced the same way though)
Another that may fit your criteria is Eleanor

I know a little Penelope...Penny for short! Took me a while to work out the coin thing though....

I have a friend with a gorgeous baby called Penny.
In your case I really can't stop thinking about Penny Nickels sorry!
What about Charlotte, Julia, Elizabeth, Laura ???

To be honest, I don't think the penny nickles thing is an issue here in Australia - I didn't get it at all until you pointed it out.

I didn't get the coin thing either, I don't think it'd be a problem here in Oz!

I love Penny!
