A bit frumpy

DorritLittle · 09/05/2022 11:33

This is just my opinion but I don't think it works unless you are French.

CoralBells · 09/05/2022 11:39

I like it

Haus1234 · 09/05/2022 11:41

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

Synchrony · 09/05/2022 12:02

I like it. I wouldn't hear it as Pauline. I'd assume you were French.

RuthW · 09/05/2022 12:20

Not for me.

Lovely, there is a little one at my sons Primary School and I often think it has a lovely sound to it.

SpaceJamtart · 09/05/2022 12:36

I knew an Apollonia which i think is similar, she used to get lots of compliments on her name

GalactatingGoddess · 09/05/2022 12:48

It's a lovely name! It probably could be misheard but who cares, correct them.

Sorry, Sounds like a juice drink you'd buy in Aldi

WeirdManFromRummikub · 09/05/2022 13:20

I like it.

wetpebbles · 09/05/2022 14:07

DeliaOwens · 09/05/2022 14:41

Lovely name.

Minimalme · 09/05/2022 16:08

Like it and never heard it before. I wish I was French and called Appolline Smile

Minimalme · 09/05/2022 16:09

And it's nothing like Pauline or aeroplane - have you guys been on the midday gins? Grin

pinklavenders · 09/05/2022 16:28

I read aeroplane

You might need your eyes tested Grin

Firebird83 · 09/05/2022 17:55

I think it’s lovely.

AnuSTart · 09/05/2022 17:57

It’s very similar to Pauline pronounced the French way.

CheshireCats · 09/05/2022 18:05

Horrible

Ameanstreakamilewide · 09/05/2022 18:16

It sounds like an industrial solvent.

SnowyPetals · 09/05/2022 18:20

Lovely in French but sounds like a cleaning product in English.
