First name Pallace for a girl?

[veluwe2025]

I just finished reading Tom Lake by Ann Patchett and love the name Pallace, and also the character she was associated with. Since we're in Europe as well as Asia, this name works well for both places.

But what do you think of the name Pallace?

No

As in palace but with weird spelling? I wouldn't, personally.

How do you pronounce it? Pal-iss?

Not keen sorry.

It's entirely up to you, but if you're soliciting opinion, my thought was 'absolutely not'.

Im usually for uncommon names but this one is a no from me. Too close to Palace.

Please don’t!

Never heard of it as a name. Everyone will just think Palace and wonder why you named your child after a royal building.

Pal-Ass?

Sorry OP, it's a tragedeigh.

I like it.

Nickname Buckingham!

No!

I’ve never heard of the literary reference - immediately thought Buckingham too. Not even a particularly nice name 😬

It just doesn't feel like a name.

No

No

No, that is an awful name

Never heard of it. Which European countries do you think it works in?

Pregnancy hormones. You should have to have sorted names before you get pregnant.

might as well call her Buckingham.

No.

it's prob pregnancy hormones.
I was obsessed with Tiberius and Aelius 🥴

fear not: they werent sepected in the end
This too shall pass.

Are you mid pregnancy? I came up with some absolute corkers at that stage. My now teens are horrified at what I considered calling them.

Awful.

No to Pallace.

God no. It looks like you’ve tried to name a child “Palace” and spelled it wrong. Don’t like Palace or Pallace.

Mine was Augusta Lark. Everyone else hated it (rightly so with hindsight). Dd1 is quiet low key and studious and would have hated being called Augusta Lark!

She will forever be Crystal to me.

Also reading that book and agree the character is great. But no. What would the short version be? Pal? Pally? Paloma is good.
