Paulina
What are your thoughts on Paulina? I like it very much today, which is strange as I never thought it would be a name I would grow to love, but here I am, as I have been with Sybil and Nora in the past. Much obliged!

Love it, adore it, was the top choice for us until someone pointed out that our last name also starts with a P and those are unfortunate initials. I would still use it given the chance though. I personally think it has that vintage charm like Milly or Alice, yet it's classier and a bit more formal/frilly. I like it better than Pauline, which is totally against my normal style. My mother thinks it's a more sophisticated version of Polly or Pollyanna, which she prefers. I considered the Polina spelling, but I much prefer Paulina. It's so feminine, yet so strong at the same time. I just really really like it.

I love it. I think it's very classy and pretty. I like the nickname Polly for it. I get a really calm, serene vibe from it.

Paulina is okay. I might like it more if Pauline didn't make me think of The League of Gentlemen.I like Polina.

I do enjoy the sound of Paulina but prefer Polina for its shape. I think Pauline, as an alternative, makes an adorable middle name.

Thank you! I like Polina and Pauline, too, certainly.
