Penelope is a long name that tests your endurance and consistency. Eight letters with two p's, two e's, and the unusual l-o-p sequence in the middle. Keeping even spacing across the whole name is the biggest challenge.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital P's bottom curve leads into the e. Keep the connection at the baseline.
The tall l drops to the baseline, then curves into the o. Make the height change smooth.
Close the o, then drop into the p's downstroke. The p goes below the baseline.
Break it into syllables when practicing: Pen-el-o-pe.
Watch your spacing. With eight letters, things can get cramped fast.
The two p's should look the same. One is at the start, one in the middle. Keep them consistent.
