Penny

In the 101 Dalmations franchise, Penny was one of Pongo and Perdita's puppies.

In the film Bolt, Penny was a child actress whose co-star was her own dog, Bolt. After Bolt got lost, he traveled across the country to find her. She nearly died from a fire in the studio but Bolt arrived in time to rescue her. After the incident, the two of them quit Hollywood and moved to the country.

In the film The Rescuers, Penny was a young orphan girl who was kidnapped by Madame Medusa who needed a child to fetch a diamond from a narrow hole for her. She was rescued by Bernard and Bianca, and later adopted.

In the series The Proud Family, Penny Proud was the daughter of Oscar and Trudy Proud. She was a talented singer and a straight A student. She was on the football team and works for the school newspaper.

In the Inspector Gadget franchise, Penny was the niece of Inspector Gadget. She often helped him with his cases.

In the film Sky High, Penny Lent was the leader of the school's cheerleading squad. She was able to make multiple clones of herself.

Penny is a diminutive for the Greek name Penelope. Penelope is a name from Greek mythology. In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope was Odysseus' wife. When he was believed dead, she delayed remarrying by weaving a burial shroud for her husband, but every night she undid what she had weaved the day before. So today the name is generally thought to mean 'weaver', but it likely originated before the story and referred to a type of bird. In 2015, Penny was the 754th most popular name for girls in the United States.
