I love this name and I agree that it is beautiful. Penelope is one of my favorite characters from Greek mythology. Unfortunately, I could never use it because of a bad association with a person who has this name.

Penelope Acacia (NN Nell) has been our top choice for a girl for 12 years. Now, though, I'm concerned it's too popular for me to actually use.Edited to add: Sorry...was meant to be in response to the main poster. :-)

I love diminutives, which, though actually as much a root as any other syllable, seem distant to the full formality. She might spell this pet name as Knell (like the ominous bell), or further distance it with Bell / Belle.
