What are your opinions of the name [name_m]Paul[/name_m]? It’s one of those names that I’m surprised isn’t more popular on Nameberry. If you have any combos I would love to hear them!
It’s a good name with a nice connection to Christianity! Unfortunately reminds me too much of [name_u]Dune[/name_u] and [name_m]Paul[/name_m] Finebaum. Bleah!

I think [name_m]Paul[/name_m] will come back eventually, but at the moment it feels too middle-aged to be popular. I also don’t love the sound personally, though I love [name_f]Polly[/name_f] and [name_f]Paulina[/name_f] on a girl.
I’d go for a longer and more modern middle name, like [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Griffin[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Duncan[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Anders[/name_m] etc.

I love [name_m]Paul[/name_m]! I really want it on my list, but I haven’t been able to pair it properly yet— I may bring back [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. I really adore [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and I don’t find it too “middle-aged” at all.

I like [name_m]Paul[/name_m]! I associate it with older men because an older family member of mine has this name, but I would love to meet a little [name_m]Paul[/name_m] someday.

I love [name_m]Paul[/name_m]! It is one of those names that feels “cozy” to me. I think the only downside is that it’s kind of difficult to pair with other names. I almost feel like it would make a better middle name because it’s so short.
Here are some combos off the top of my head:
[name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m]

I grew up in the south and [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is way too common here. Not my style personally.

I think it’s very dull and I associate it with middle aged people. I would be surprised to hear this on a baby in this time.

It makes me think of [name_m]Paul[/name_m] McCartney! I instantly have “[name_m]Say[/name_m], say, say” (his song with [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u]) playing in my head.
I think cowboy-style middles like: [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Maverick[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_u]Cooper[/name_u], [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Waylon[/name_m] etc. fit quite well.

I have the opposite opinion I am incredibly surprised when I meet a [name_m]Paul[/name_m] or [name_m]Paolo[/name_m] who is younger than 40. Although [name_m]Paulie[/name_m] makes it fresher. Also it’s a food chain here…french boulangerie.

I feel the same way! It strikes me as a strong name that simultaneously has a soft quality about it. I love [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] from your suggestions!
I must say, I agree with @Llewthewolf - sorry. That’s just my feeling about it though, there’s nothing particularly wrong with the name.
