Comments and insights on the name Paula

I was part of the southern tradition of the oldest girl named after their father.

I wish my parents had named me after my father; the name they gave me sucks big time!

It's a very pretty name, to honor a father named Paul or, to use it just because you like it.

· I was named after my father as well since his name is Paulo. It's pretty embarrassing, but I learned to accept my name little by little
