It really depends on her last name.

I think it's lovely. It's definitely a bit exotic and it would depend on the surname as to how it plays out, but standing on it's own, it has a dignity and charm that I find lacking in a lot of the current names.

I'm not really sure where you would get Crayola from Paola...


I think it's a great name! Then again, I may be biased, since I lived in Sicily for a couple of years, and fell in love with it, lol!

Hey Terra (and everyone else),
Paola is the Italian/Hispanic form of Paula, and is pronouced like "POW(rhymes with now)-la" in Italian. BTN says it's "pah-OH-la" in Spanish.
Hope that helps : )

By the way, I like the name... it sounds dignified and would grow up well.

I first think Paolo from "Friends" ( I love the name Paolo on men) and then I think "payola."

I do love Paula for a girl, but Paola I just can't get into.
