Paloma is lovely, everyone will know it from Paloma faith but that’s not a bad connection. Means it’s familiar to people. Sounds nice with Tabitha

Pretty name,

I have now got Una Paloma Blanca stuck in my head and will be humming it for days 😀

Tinytigertail · 04/03/2023 20:07

I have a Paloma, I love it ❤️

Like!

I love it. Reminds of the uber-stylish Paloma Picasso.

Wonderful with Tabitha.
Paloma has great meaning and sound.
Tabitha and Paloma is perfect.
Nick names might be Lomy, Oma

It reminds me of the pretty Pomona and Pomeline (meaning apple)

DramaAlpaca · 05/03/2023 01:06

Don't particularly like, but I think it works with Tabitha.

Errmmmmmmmmmmm · 05/03/2023 01:07

love it 😍

It means dove or pigeon in Spanish.

Does it? Gosh, thank you!

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/03/2023 01:36

Love it.

Very elegant and underused, but known and easy to spell. Nice meaning too.

Salantanamana · 05/03/2023 01:40

Pigeon 😭😭😭

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

Plum is so cute! 🥰

Paloma Juliet is lovely

Mamaneedsadrink · 06/03/2023 03:25

Really don't like it, it sounds like some kind of growth on your body. Papaloma? Is that the word for it? It's a no from me

StartupRepair · 06/03/2023 03:44

Love it. Paloma Juliet is beautiful
Nn Plum very sweet too.

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/03/2023 09:58

Lovely name

Rauha · 06/03/2023 09:59

Paloma is beautiful. Paloma Juliet.

pamshortsbrokenbothherlegs · 06/03/2023 10:29

I love it, as I do Tabitha. They sound great together!

passiveaggressivenonsense · 06/03/2023 11:07

It's the name of the make of my hot water heater.

Snugglemonkey · 06/03/2023 12:09

I love Paloma. I would not worry about nicknames, they will form organically. Or not. My son is always known by his full name.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 06/03/2023 12:17

Lovely name. Lola is a cute nickname for it.

NeverTrustAPoliceman · 06/03/2023 12:38

I really like it but my first thought is the 70s song Una Paloma Blanca. Which no doubt I'll be humming all afternoon now.

Most people won't remember the song though.

LakeIsle48 · 06/03/2023 12:44

I love both names. Really gorgeous. Names I haven't heard in a long time. Stunning names x

Bichette · 06/03/2023 12:46

Lovely.
Unusual without being weird.
Also like Ramona.
