Two names I've heard recently and I'm really undecided about.

Paolo (male and pronounced like pow-low)
Sorrel (female)

Thoughts?

I don't know if I like Paolo, but I do like Paola very much.
Sorrel makes me think of squirrel.

Paolo is okay, but Sorrel makes me think of squirrel for some reason, too. I really like the how the plant sorrel tastes, but I don't like it as a name.

My uncle's name is Paolo, and has a daughter Paola.
Not only that, Paola's brother, Yuri, also married a Paola!
And there was a third Paola too in the family, but she recently passed away.
They go by Paolina, Paoletta and Paolona respectively.

Maybe I've been overexposed, but I really don't care for the name.

Sorrel I'd never heard before. It remins me of Soren, too close to "sorrow" for me.

I like Paolo. Isn't Sorrel some kind of fruit or something? idk that's what I think of. Not a fan.

Yeah, it's this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorrel

It's tasty, but I keep associating the word with other words like Squirrel or Swirl haha.

Paolo to me will always be the guy Rachel had a fling with on Friends...

And Sorrel is a colouring of horses.
