Pauline ??

[wiifat]

What do you think?
Too 60's sounding?

Pauline. It's a mum's name from the seventies. Awful. Ugly. Sorry.

it will be one of the names used for your grandchild!

Way too soon for Pauline.

And I don't mean 'too soon' as in 'you're ahead of the curve and you've got your finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist'. I mean too soon as in - Don't Do It.

:)

Before I did my Halloween user name I was PaulineCampbellJones - the character that BunnyLebowski has referenced. Don't do it!!
I like Paulette though, there was a very chic girl at school with that name.

Objectively I think Pauline is very pretty but it's so outdated that I would never use it.

Give it a few years.

It makes me think of Pauline Collins (as in Shirley Valentine)

I actually prefer Shirley.

NO
My mum (65) was called it and changed her name as soon as she was able to as even then it was utterly old fashioned and too dreadful.

It remains so.

Yeuch no, no, no. With all the gorgeous names in the world you could call your daughter why choose a name that has a boys name at the beginning.

I like Pauline a lot. Solid name, not so prettified. And Polly makes a great nickname. I also like Pamela and Pat but obviously I'm in the minority!

It kind of makes me wonder if the parents were hoping for a boy and had their hearts set on Paul, but made the best of it by sticking to the name they had chosen. I always wonder the same about poor Nigella.

Plus, League of Gentlemen. Brr.

I really like it, and also Paula, Paulette. I see it as old fashioned French, so somewhat stylish.

I sort of like Pamela too, Janoschi, (but not Pat).

No.

No, it's my MIL's name. 'Nuff said.

I know two Paulines both lovely but both hate it! So I would say no, but if you love it then go for it.

Foul. Sorry

what biggerfeet said.

I can hear her voice saying it on the telephone

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHH

besides which, is not a very nice name, really. Lots nicer out there, old fashioned or no
