WDYT about the name Pauline? Could you think of any good second names for it? I love the nickname Poppy for Pauline :>) I also like the Finnish version, Pauliina.
I think that it sounds quite old. And my parents make fun of me for liking old names, but that's just too old for me, I guess. I think that Paulina sounds a lot nicer, more modern.
i don't like any name that ends in that -line/lene/leen sound, they all sound like women in their forties or fifties to me, i can't imagine it on a young person at all.
