I love Pamela! It's vibrant and jaunty.

I was contemplating it the other day.

I've hated it for a long time. The other day I was reading something aloud, talking to someone, and it had Pamela in it. I said "Pamela" and I thought... actually, it's fun to say.

I don't love it, but I might like it in the future. I find it fun. It was also never popular here, so we don't have the stigma. It does seem old, but there aren't thousands of Pamelas, it seems.

I hate Pam and Pammy. What about Pamela "Mel"?

No, and that Bay Watch show is why.

Nobody can get Pamela Anderson out of their heads.

Pamela is very pretty, but I don't think it is going to be coming back anytime soon, not while so many Pamelas are still having little Emmas and Rileys. It's not dated enough to be considered a classic yet either, but is dated to the fifties up through the seventies.

I only like Pamela as the full name. I think Pam is blah and anyway, it's what I spray my baking sheet with. Pammie/Pammy sounds cheap, like a drag queen or something. Pammy and Kimmy open for Ru Paul.

I like Pamela very much and Pam and Pammy not at all. So if I used it, it would be as a mn only.

Still dated for me. I associate it with the nn "Pam," which is the epitome of middle-aged lady names. I know a Pamela (she's 50), and everyone calls her Pam. No one uses her full name.
