Paolina

I have this name, and I like to pronounce it "paw-LEE-nuh". I only noticed this recently, but I think my family pronounces my name differently than I do- "pow-LEE-nuh". I have only known two other people who have this name, but I never got to actually meet them- my grandmother, and the friend of a stranger who noticed my name tag at an event. It is misspelled and mispronounced pretty often, but I do like my name. I like that it is unique while still being pretty similar to more common names.
