  1. It was my fianc?’s mother’s name. She was very close to him and she passed away in 2013. I love the 60s vintage vibe.

  2. We have a tradition in each of our families that the siblings have the same first initial. We had actually had the same boys name on our list and that set what our children’s first name initial is.

  3. My grandma named her one dog Penny.Then another dog Penny years later.Now I am going to name my puppy Penny Pretty Girl

  4. Our Penny is short for Penelope. We loved the spunkiness of the name Penny, it just fits our spirited daughter so well. Now that she’s older, she does get upset occasionally when kids compare her to the coin, but I think overall she likes the name and how we don’t meet many other Penny’s out there.
