Oh my goodness, I ADORE this name!
I say it A-pol-loh-nee-a.I would use it if I ever had a daughter with Polina as a short form.

It's a little cumbersome imo. I agree with Miranda's pronunciation, btw. The first thing that comes to mind is the actress/singer (just went by Apollonia, I believe) who was heavily associated with Prince in the 1980s. I just quickly looked her up, and her real fn is Patricia, lol.
