Lately I've been really liking the name Penelope with the nickname Nell. It's not usually a name I would like, but it's grown on me! ;)

I have Penelope Jane on my list, but was wondering what you guys thought? Yay or nay?

Love Penelope Jane!!! I think it was a thought to my list, probably a suggestion from you hehe! Though i now have Penelope Clara until further notice...

Its such a lovely name though!! And I think all of the nick names are nice, though Lo is my personal favorite. I have Ellie as my choice of nickname(:

I tend to have "Elle" or "Ellie" as a nickname for a lot of the names on my list, simply because I tend to like names with "El" in them.
So if I don't find a nickname I like more than Elle, than I tend to just stick with it.

Here's a few: Adelaide, Eleanor, Helena, Emmeline, Isobel, Gabrielle, Eliza, Noelle, Lorelei, Aurelia, Cecelia, Madeleine, Estelle, Ophelia, Eloise, Arabelle etc.

I prefer Della or Addie for Adelaide for example and Brie or Gabby for Gabrielle.

Used to have Ellie as a nickname for Penelope though. And Can I just say I A-D-O-R-E Penelope Clara?
I had Clara Penelope on mine for a while. And Penelope June.

Same, same :/ I adore a bunch of "El" names! Most the same as you, hehe. Adelaide, Eleanor, Emmeline, Isabel, Gabrielle, Noelle, Aurelia, Cecelia, Madeleine, Estelle, Ophelia, Eloise, Arabella, etc (:

But ohh, I've been thinking about the name Della lately! Apparently the sinks at my house that I've been using all my life... the brand of the knob turner thing to turn the water on is Della (: I never noticed until lately! And its really pretty! Though, thats a great idea! Alternative nick names (:

Aww, thanks!!! I am loving Penelope Clara as well!!! Though, I also like Agnes Clara a lot. I think I might just switch Aggies middle name though, cause Penelope Clara does flow better<3
Mmm, Jane and June are such a toughie! I've been debating those right now, June vs Jane. We'll have to see (:

Hey dude, can you give me some new middle names for Penelope?
I'm starting to like Penelope June more than Jane again, but it's not 100% yet.

Julep? Where did THAT come from?! :o
It sounds... intriguing!

I heard Peppy in "The Artist" and her full name was Penelope, so I thought it was cute. But I see where you're coming from.
I like Nellie, but Nell just seems a bit more grown up.
