I really like it .

MargoDeWitt · 04/03/2023 17:19

It's beautiful. Unusual without being unknown, no issues with pronunciation. Goes well with Tabitha.

Viviennemary · 04/03/2023 17:21

I'm not keen.

heldinadream · 04/03/2023 17:21

Lovely, interesting and different but not weird, great name and totally goes with Tabitha.

MaraScottie · 04/03/2023 17:23

Lovely name, how do you think it will be shortened? Probably inevitable!

daisypond · 04/03/2023 17:24

I like it. I’m not sure it goes with Tabitha but I could come round to it.

MrsMoastyToasty · 04/03/2023 17:26

It means dove or pigeon in Spanish.

Lovely :)

Lovely name.

angelis0 · 04/03/2023 17:32

Love it!!!

8stone13 · 04/03/2023 17:33

I love it. I've been wearing Paloma Picasso for decades. Works really well with Tabitha.

Knockmealdowns · 04/03/2023 17:41

Oh no… call her Polly, otherwise she’ll be Pally? What about Leona? Or Leonie?

ThePoshUns · 04/03/2023 17:51

Gorgeous name and compliments Tabitha

mathanxiety · 04/03/2023 18:03

Lovely, and goes well with Tabitha.

Wrongsideofpennines · 04/03/2023 18:06

I think its lovely. Make sure you have a nickname in mind incase people try to shorten to Pal/Pally. Unless you're ok with that!

InstagramBitchWife · 04/03/2023 18:06

I love Tabitha, but really don't like Paloma.

rattlinbog · 04/03/2023 18:57

I know one known as Pom

Pall-oh-ma or Pa-LOr-ma?

Lovely name either way.

PritiPatelsMaker · 04/03/2023 19:01

I love it.

Borris · 04/03/2023 19:03

I like it. The one I know gets called “P”

Almahart · 04/03/2023 19:04

I know a Paloma. Lovely name, she is never called Pal or Pally!

Beatrixy · 04/03/2023 19:06

Peony

FlyingHighandDry · 04/03/2023 19:06

My Paloma has been shortened to ‘Plum’ by her pals… it seems to be sticking and I have to say I find it cute.

ourflagmeansdeath · 04/03/2023 19:27

I love Tabitha for your first daughter, it's pretty. But Paloma I'm not as keen on.

VooVooV · 04/03/2023 19:31

Love it.
