    Alternative to Penelope?

    I've always loved Penelope, but don't want the Kardashian connection... Maybe I'll get over it in time, but what are some alternatives with a similar style?
    I like Phoebe, and Genevieve a bit.
    What do you all suggest?

    I thought of Persephone first. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but they do sound similar.

    We also love this name and have for years but after the Kardashian's named their dd this, its off our list. Going with your style, we are considering Daphne ourselves if we have a girl.
