Re: Paulina
in reply to a message by Lily
I actually think it's adorable, though it is not in my round of favorites. I don't know why I hesitate with it. I don't know that it's dated per se, so much as you need a namesake or something to carry it. It's a weird stigma I have for it. Don't let that stop you! I'd love to see it used. Prefer Paulina to Pauline or Paulette, which both strike me as a boring feminine ending stuck to Paul. Paulina actually sounds like it should be its own name, even if it isn't any different. For this reason, I may ever so slightly prefer Polina, though Paulina itself is probably the safer version.
