I hate Yvonne though Grin

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 13/03/2022 20:28

I think it's kind of pretty tbh

It's in the category of Yvonne, Yvette, Jacqueline type names that were all the rage in the 60s. You're just ahead of your time. Some of the people who think it's awful should gird their loins for 25 years from now when they're introduced to a grandaughter with this style of name.

Horrid

Fantastic in 1972

Really awful. Sorry. Pauline is even worse!

No. Pauline is marginally better.

I'm not a fan unfortunately.

I love Paul (and wonder if it's due a come back after Dune) but Paulette is a no from me.

Polina?

I think it's awful, I'm afraid. Paul is an ugly name, and the -ette just looks stuck on. I realise that's completely unreasonable and it is a real name.

I like Minette, Lisette etc - just not Paulette.

Sorry , no.
