  I have a friend called Penelope..... for some reason, a lot of the older generation pronounces her name as 'Penny-Lope' ('Lope' as in 'elope').

  I swear, there was a really audible groan in the auditorium when the professor announced my friend's name that way during..... Commencement. 

  
  Actually I like the name Constantine too for a boy but MPB don't like it

  And my brother got sick and tired of people mispronouncing and mis-spelling his name, he gave up and used his Chinese name instead

  'Penelope' so difficult to pronounce meh?

  At least it's far more common than, say, Leonidas......
