Girl P names

[sdjma.livejournal.com]

My father's name was Paul.

We would like to give the baby a middle name for my father.  If it is a boy, that's easy.  But what about a girl?  I'm not too into Paulette/Pauline/Paula... but, honestly, I haven't found any P names that I like for girls, except Priya, which I love, but since we aren't Indian, I would feel weird giving the baby that name.

Are there any P girl names that aren't awful?

I like classic names that are not super popular, although I'll admit that I do love some of the ones that are super popular right now (Isabella, Sophia, etc).  Generally I like traditional names that are... I don't know how to describe it, maybe pretty sounding?  Multi-syllables?  Names like Rebecca, Arianna, Joanna, Hannah, Molly...  I guess they all have soft sounds.  Anyway, any suggestions?

Thanks!

What was your dad's middle name? Maybe his middle name would work better?

Or find a name that has the same meaning as Paul.

Well, his middle name was Martin, and he hated it. And Paul means "small" so it isn't the best in terms of meaning. Although I have looked for names meaning small, I think that is an interesting route to go since I don't really love many P names.

Yeah, there weren't many names when I looked up "small" lol
Oh, what about names meaning "little" (with things following such as 'little womanly one')? Would that be stretching it too far?

"Little" girl names (har har I'm funny)
Allison (Little Alice)
Carolyn (Little womanly one)
Coralie (Little maiden)

P names are hard.
Paige
Peyton (One Tree Hill fan lol)

Oh! Is there anything that reminds you of your dad? For instance, if roses reminded you of him you could use the name Rosalyn. Or what words describe him? Maybe use those to find a name instead of small/little!
