Is there any other way than to pronounce it as it's written: Ah Poll een

It will be frequently misheard as “Pauline” which is pretty old fashioned. I do like it though!

Or 'our Pauline' if you north

Sounds like a medication sorry.

Pieceofpurplesky · 09/05/2022 18:37

If you are northern *

I realise it isn't an English name, but to my English ear it sounds like a topical ointment

WeasilyPleased · 09/05/2022 22:49

Too appley for me.

Borris · 09/05/2022 22:57

A bit like trampoline

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/05/2022 23:08

Wouldn’t work in the Uk, people will hear it as A Pauline, or Apple-een.

Goldfishjones · 09/05/2022 23:19

I just thought Trampoline

PaddlingLikeADuck · 10/05/2022 17:29

Sounds too much like ‘trampoline’ for my liking…

Caminante · 10/05/2022 17:53

Cute. Polly for short.

CoralBells · 11/05/2022 10:54

I think kids nowadays are much more used to their friends having names from other countries

Iamnotokifyouarenotok · 11/05/2022 10:55

Sorry but I think it’s awful!

Buttons294749 · 11/05/2022 20:14

I know 2!

MissEarlGrey · 11/05/2022 20:19

Be aware that even in France, it’s not quite a standard name - it’s very posh!

mogtheexcellent · 11/05/2022 20:20

I know one. Shortened to Appi. Lovely girl. Its a nice name. Mum is french i think?

Also the name of Fleur Delacours mum in Harry Potter.

peaceinourtime · 12/05/2022 00:23

I'm not keen on all veneration's of Apollo like this name or Apolla for example. I'm not sure if this i french name but at first glance it looks like Alpine.

Nb Apollo is a good name on its own.
