HelpRe: Paul
in reply to a message by Genevieve
This will probably be what I name my son due soon. Like you, until recently I thought it was boring, but now I think it sort of stands out in its simplicity. I'm picking it mostly for family significance. Paul is used a lot in my family, but no one in my family goes by Paul. It is a middle name or in my grandfather's case, a silent first name.
Well there's family significance, and my husband vetoed all of my more colorful choices like Linus and Oscar. But maybe Linus and Oscar are trying too hard to be cool. My husband vetoed my first choice name for my daughter, Greta, and now I'm glad he did.
I do feel it needs a middle name with flair, but I'm using Robert because that's my husband's name. From an artistic standpoint, I much prefer Paul Augustus, Paul Xavier, and Paul Constantine.
I like how there are so many positive Paul namesakes, Paul Revere, Paul Newman, Paul McCartney, and more recently Paul Walker.
