Saw this name on Nameberry under the Girls 'P' section. Is it too ridiculous to use? Quite cute nickname potential!

It sounds like it's a French brand of dried apple (like mousseline is French Smash).

I don't like it, sorry!

Apple drink here too.

Sounds like a fizzy apple drink to me.

Sorry but i think it sounds like a breed of dog.

Pomeline would be the perfect name for an elderly, flatulent shih tzu.

Meh, it's a fairly "normal" French name. Princess Caroline of Monaco's daughter has it as one of her names...not sure how well it would fly in the UK though!

Like Paloma, but just can't get my head around Pomeline!

Inclusionist · 01/10/2013 14:33

I think Paloma could be done!

Sounds like 'Pummeling' !

Ha ha thanks for your thoughts. I sometimes wonder where Nameberry source their 'names' from.

Also like Perdita but 'lost' meaning is off-putting.

No idea! Presume so. Just sounded quite fresh to me.

On active conversations, rather than in baby names, I first read it as

pom line

Is it pronounced pom eh leen?

niffernaffer · 01/10/2013 13:59

Astonishing, but I quite like. Never heard it before ANYWHERE

Inclusionist · 01/10/2013 13:58

Too rediculous!
