I’m absolutely in love with this name and if it were up to just me [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] would already be a next baby girl’s name. However, considering it’s a rare [name_m]French[/name_m] name (rare in [name_f]France[/name_f] imagine here!), I was wondering what you all perceive of this name.
[ol][/ol]
I love [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]! It’s such as sweet name. I’m familiar with it since it’s a middle name of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Casiraghi (the daughter of [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] of Monaco) so I associate it with her - elegant European socialite vibes.
I pronounce it the [name_m]French[/name_m] way, like this.
I suppose the obvious nicknames in English would be [name_m]Pom[/name_m] or Pommy, though [name_f]Polly[/name_f] could also be an option.
I don’t think it’s any more frilly or cutesy than many women’s names that are already in common use.
Similar names: [name_f]Apolline[/name_f], Ombeline, Florestine, Pomellina (bonus fourth suggestion)
[name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] was very popular in name nerdy circles a few years ago, and I was always surprised that it never took off. I reckon it would take someone high profile to pluck it from obscurity. It’s an interesting name, and I’d be thrilled to meet one. I’ve always imagined [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] as someone’s eccentric British great-aunt working in her garden outside of her ivy-covered country cottage.
Possible siblings: [name_m]Algernon[/name_m], [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
ETA: Hypatia or Olympia would also be superb with Pomeline, I think.
I’ve never heard of this name before, which surprises me since I like -line names. It sounds European to me, though I wouldn’t necessarily assume [name_m]French[/name_m]. I would assume [name_m]Pom[/name_m]-a-line or [name_m]Pom[/name_m]-a-leen. Not being familiar with it, it sounds to me a little like a product, like a soap brand or a type of delicate cookie sold in little boxes. (I think I’m being influenced by [name_m]Pom[/name_m], the pomegranate juice brand, combined with Vaseline and Ovaltine.)
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f], would pronounce it [name_m]POM[/name_m]-uh-line. I’d imagine an ultra stylish and very chic young woman or artistic, nature loving, boho kind. I would use the NN [name_f]Apple[/name_f]. I think it’s cool, not so much frilly. Some similar names: [name_f]Cosette[/name_f], [name_f]Ondine[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f].
I would assume it’s probably not incredibly popular in [name_f]France[/name_f] as it would be similar to naming a child [name_f]Apple[/name_f] in english speaking countries (a la [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] Paltrow 
). I like [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] well enough but it reminds me of the trendy “-line” names like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], etc. In all honesty, [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] seems a little preppy or uppity to me, so that’s how I would imagine a little girl named [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] to be. I would pronounce it [name_m]POM[/name_m]-uh-line. Nicknames could be [name_f]Polly[/name_f] or Pommy? [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Octavia[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f], too! When I think of [name_m]French[/name_m] linguistics, it seems like such an odd name to me (although I don’t know why I think so, since I know of [name_m]French[/name_m] little girls named [name_f]Prune[/name_f]), but [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] is gorgeous. I just love saying it, and I love imagining crisp gala apples. haha. I love the variety of nns options, too ([name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Amie[/name_f]–not really there in the spelling, but Ommy could be, and I much prefer the tie to the [name_m]French[/name_m] word “friend”–[name_f]Lena[/name_f]/[name_f]Lina[/name_f], maybe even Pommy, even though it makes me think of pom-poms. I think you could even get [name_f]Posy[/name_f] out of your [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]!), and I love your [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]! She’s so darling and feels so [name_m]French[/name_m]-chic. I only know of one little [name_m]French[/name_m] Agnès, so I don’t know if it’s up-and-coming or not, really, but it seems like such a chic [name_m]French[/name_m] name (or at least classic au minimum!), and [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] together just seems to be perfection to me.
I just realized I ignored all the questions in your post (to just gush over [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]), lol, so:
One day she’ll be a girl that will take the guys’ breath away. She’ll have effortless self-confidence. She’ll believe in herself but won’t be showy about it. She won’t need a guy to affirm herself, but one day the best man in the world will sweep her off her feet. She’ll be a great mama some day, and will probably work in the chemistry field. She has one of the most intelligent minds ever. But she still loves to call home on [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] afternoons and talk to maman.
(Sorry that I’m randomly just speaking [name_m]French[/name_m] to you, haha. [name_m]French[/name_m] names sort of bring it out of me. lol.)
[name_m]Pom[/name_m]-e-leen. I imagine that’s pretty close to the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation. I like it, and think if you’re not in a [name_m]French[/name_m] speaking place it loses some of the ‘you just named your kid apple’ and becomes more of a ‘it’s a name that means apple’. It reminds me a bit of [name_f]Pamela[/name_f] & [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], kind of a mixture of the two. You could even use the nickname [name_u]Mel[/name_u]?
I love [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]. It’s definitely quite elegant and glamorous, but the apple meaning gives it a sweet freshness that makes it easy to imagine on a child as well as an adult. I would pronounce it [name_m]Pom[/name_m]-eh-leen. I don’t think it’s too frilly at all. Similar names: [name_f]Octavie[/name_f], [name_f]Ottiline[/name_f], [name_f]Melusine[/name_f], [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], [name_f]Odelette[/name_f], [name_f]Amandine[/name_f]. It also reminds me of Melpomene, although I definitely wouldn’t say they’re the same style.

Thank you everyone who has shared their views on this name so far! You guys have been extremely helpful!
I agree with this. I pronounce it [name_m]POM[/name_m]-uh-leen. I think it’s a usable, and pretty name. Nms, but I am liking it:)
