Help, please!?! Middle name needed very soon!
- PFM Paloma Frances (from France--we got engaged in Paris...)
- PCM Paloma Chantal (means song or sing)
- PCM Paloma Claire (like Claire de Lune, the song)
- PCM Paloma Celeste (means heaven)
- PAM Paloma Allison (sister)
- PAM Paloma Alice (grandmother)
- PLM Paloma Lourdes (aunt)
- PLM Paloma Lynn (several family members)
- PJM Paloma Joy (obvious meaning... does it sound like a candy bar?)
- EEM Ella Esperanza (I like the e.e. cummings feel)

Please don't go with Ella! Paloma is so refreshing! What does it mean?
Paloma means "dove", or as my 5 year old says, "white bird of peace". Picasso named his daughter Paloma. It's a well-known but not common name in Spanish (and half of the family is in or from Mexico). Also, the nickname in Spanish, Palomita, means little dove or popcorn, and it's a song covered by Linda Ronstadt on one of her "Canciones di mi Padre" cds.
But to me, it means the famous Picasso painting of the white dove holding a multi-colored bouquet. Last Christmas I bought Xmas cards with this image on the front; the inside said simply, "Peace on Earth".
Lastly, I love the idea of Paloma Frances, since you got engaged in Paris, but I don't really care for the name Frances, I think it's kind of frumpy- especially next to a name like Paloma! I dont' know about using an alternate name for Frances, though, I mean- Paloma Francesca might sound too much... anyway, great choices! Best wishes to you!
