Are there any names that Penny could be a nickname for besides Penelope?

I'm Jennifer. My family has always called me "Jenny Penny" or "Penners" or something with Penny.

Arpeni (Armenian): Sun
Aspen (English) Aspen tree
Kipenzi (Swahili) Precious one
Mapenzi (Swahili) Romance
Pen (Greek) Weaver; duck
Penda (Swahili) Affectionate

Hmm, maybe P names in general. Like Pilar, Pippa or Poppy? I could see it being a nickname for Henrietta, like Henny-Penny.
Also, I know two older women who's full names are just Penny. Not short for anything.
