Yelling those names down the house would have been confusing for all involved!Was Penny the middle name of Sherry? Sherry Penny? Or Sherry Penelope?

Yep, I can image so! Like why did you do such a thing grandma?! And no, haha. Sherry's full name is plain old, Sherry Ann. She received her nickname because when she and Mary "Cookie" were younger, they were inseparable and from what my mother told me, everyone would say "You get a cookie for a penny"
I know it's kinda weird. I mainly know them as aunt Penny and aunt Cookie. It's what they are mainly referred as.

I like nicknames that come about in totally natural ways like that! It's neat! I especially find it great that they ended up with names that didn't rhyme with their sibling haha. Penny is also much better than Sherry in my opinion. Cookie has always seemed embarrassingly weird to go by to me (I've met other ones) so I'm glad she has Mary too :)

Penny is better than Sherry. I absolutely agree. And yeah, although I mainly know her as 'aunt cookie' I definitely can't see 'cookie' as someone's legit name. Haha
