Love the name, the meaning and the history. Paloma is wonderful. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually picked this for our baby if we have a daughter. So pretty.
Hurricane Paloma (2008) was the third-strongest November Atlantic hurricane on record. A late season hurricane, it set several records for its intensity and formation. It was the third most powerful November hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin, behind only 1932 Cuba hurricane and 1999's Lenny.
Why would y'all call a child Oma or Loma... name her Lola.

Paloma is such a beautiful name. Very underused here in the UK. I love the meaning of this name and I'm a huge fan of Paloma Faith! :)

This name sounds so exotic and sensual, but at the same time, a very wise name to have. I think it can be super silly, like using the nickname Loma, so I can imagine a girl having this for all ages, It's really cool to me but I don't think it goes well with the other names that I liked.
The daughter the famous artist Pablo Picasso was called Paloma and was a famous fasion designer in her own right too. She worked for Tiffany & co. and had her own pefume line. The singer Paloma Faith is also a famous bearer. My name is actually Paloma and it is quite funny that people think of a classic dark Spanish lady when they hear it even though I have blonde hair and blue eyes!
Paloma is used as a given name because of the Marian title la Virgen de la Paloma de Madrid. Http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgen_de_la_Paloma_de_Madrid For this reason the name is especially common in Madrid (in the context of Spain).
The name is very pretty but I would never name my child this because I live in Croatia and "Paloma" is a corporation which produces toilet paper in Croatia.

Aww what a sweet name! Plus one of my favorite birds is a dove; their soft coo is so sweet. For a best friend, you can call her 'Pal'.
I have a good friend with the name Paloma. I really like this name because it's very uncommon (at least where I live). Her friends call her Paloma~loma~llama. She's told me that she was named after Picasso's daughter, but I don't know if that was really his daughter's name.

The famed artist Pablo Picasso named his daughter Paloma. She has created several perfumes and thus is known for more than simply being the daughter of a celebrity. She inherited her father's features but is very feminine and pretty.

There's a song called "Una Paloma Blanca" sung by Slim Whitman.
