  1. i love this name

  2. My husband and I chose Paola. The reason and time we chose this name is because we both agreed to it after a big list of names I already had picked out. He did not like my list even though their meaning was very beautiful. So we went ahead and another little list and waited a couple of days because I was ready to leave the pick-a-name for after baby is born. My two sisters and I already have children (boys) when we were younger our Granpa told us we were to name our first boy Pablo because if we didn’t “he would come and hunt us in our sleep” (inside joke). So when the time came for me I already had chosen and agreed with my spouse to name our first boy “Pablo” because of my grandpa and “Antonio” (as a second name) because of his grandpa (in memory of them) but for some strange extremely weird reason (that I still don’t know after 6 years) my husband changed his mind and decided to pick another one with the condition that whenever we had a baby girl I and only I would choose her name. Well, that’s how we did for our second baby, a girl. But for our third, Paola, we heard everyone’s opinion about the choice of this name, had some insight into the meaning of the name (humble and little along with Ines: sacred) plus, my mom reminded me about how “Paula” comes from the name “Pablo”. So instead of “Paula” (we didn’t want anyone calling her “Paula Deen” **no hate either, I love her and her cooking**) we went with Paola Ines, our little, humble, sacred for God baby girl <3We like everything from this name, from the spelling to the pronunciation I have a 3-syllable name

    "Syllable One: "Pow" (Like Bang! Pow!)

    Syllable Two and Three: "Hola" (Like Hi! in Spanish,

    please note that the h is silent)

    Put it together: "Pow" + "Hola!" = Paola"
