Title: Penelope
Post by: TheBear on April 26, 2018, 08:08:34 am

Is there significance to the name Penelope?

Is it suggested to everybody?

I usually use Skip 😂 ... I was confused when I realized that Manager 13 was a woman ... it threw me all the way off 😂 I havent noticed any difference when using different names.

Yeah, I can't see Manager 13 as a woman, and especially not one named Penelope. Even they are like, sure you don't want to change it?

When they ask me again if I want to change nicknames I think I will. Not sure to what yet.

I hadn't tried. Thanks for keeping me from wasting my time coming up with ideas. I actually liked the name Penelope, so I was just going, okay, cool. Then it popped back up in a conversation, and it was shudder-worthy.

Where did you learn the Manager's a woman? I didn't see the Manager saying her real name's Penelope or something.

Penelope Garcia is the hacker character on Criminal Minds (not sure if the name is a nod to the character).  Kyle would have to confirm.

What’s odd is that Penelope is not short for anything, nor is it another form of a name nor a discriptor. (Consider Chris as shortened Christopher, John and the alternative Jack, and the nickname Coach or Sport.) My first thought was actually of Odysseus’ ever patient wife, so the option puzzled me.
