[name_m]Paul[/name_m] is weird for me cause to me it sounds extremely dated and old, but I have met more children named [name_m]Paul[/name_m] than adults but that’s only with [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Pauly[/name_m], [name_f]Pauline[/name_f], [name_f]Paula[/name_f], Paulista, etc all sound retro chic to me, it’s weird

[leafygreens]

@Etymology

How are you pronouncing it?

Dine-uh so first syllable is same as Diner but there is no r sound in the 2nd syllable. I suppose British English might pronounce Diner as Dine-uh but not where I live
