Paloma?

[nancy10]

We had our 20 week scan on Friday and the sonographer told me (dh)doesn't want to know sex, that the baby is a girl! We have very different ideas when it comes to names and struggled to name our 3 ds. However last night when we were watching 'Strictly,' Paloma Faith came on and my dh said although her name was unusual he quite likes it and I have to say so do I. I think it will end up being a name we like but are not brave enough to use. What does everyone else think??

I think Paloma is beautiful - feminine, classic and very international (works in most languages).

Also love the fact that it isn't already used by thousands of little girls (like Ellie, Millie, Grace etc).

Makes me think of a horse for some reason

I still think it's quite sweet but still not 100% sure. stuffedmk Palomino is a colour of a horse which is probably why you're thinking of horses. The name is on our list of a hundred other girls names!

Not unless you are Spanish.

IMHO it is too trendy ATM due to Paloma Faith. Not saying it is a popular baby name, but just that everyone would associate it with her. If you don't mind that then go for it - it isn't an outlandish choice at all, because of the famous Paloma. Bit like Keira or Sienna.

I don't like it tbh , sorry, but it is a perfectly normal Spanish name and means of course Dove which is alright. If you like it, use it.
