I wish we had thought of it for DD (I don't know why we didn't). Our nickname for DD has been Poppy since I was pregnant and we read somewhere she was the size of a poppyseed. My full name is 8 syllables (2-4-2). Realistically people are hardly ever going to call her by all 3 names so go with what you like!

LO's name 3,2,2 (4,2,2 if pronounced in Spanish) bpcmarj on "How many syllables is your LO's name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-syllables-is-your-los-name#post-1336708 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:42:56 +0000 bpcmarj 1336708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mae: we call her Penelope and Penny pretty interchangeably :). bpcmarj on "How many syllables is your LO's name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-syllables-is-your-los-name#post-1336707 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:42:18 +0000 bpcmarj 1336707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mae: I never understood how Poppy came from Penelope until DD started talking. Her saying Penelope sounds like Popty, though she mostly calls herself PoPo.

Her syllables are 4-3-3. I love her long name! I think it sounds regal :) Michmarm on "How many syllables is your LO's name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-syllables-is-your-los-name#post-1336668 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:21:41 +0000 Michmarm 1336668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love names that are really long (or long-ish), and have a bunch of different nicknames. Penelope June is beautiful! We decided on first names a while ago: if we have a girl her first name will have 2 (or 3 depending how it's pronounced) syllables. If we have a boy his first name is going to have 4 syllables. No middle names yet, but the last name will be 1 syllable.

DH's first name is 5 syllables, although he goes by the first two syllables, so we were very conscious of it. TThat said, I love the name you picked!

I think the simple middle name makes it flow well. We have a long last name and that was kind of tricky. DD's name is 3-1-4.
