Sweet and lovely. Beautiful. Polly is a cute nickname. I like how Paulina is said with Eastern European, Latin and English speaking accents (basically all accents I've heard it in and I'm sure all others too :) )

A very pretty name, feminine and womanly, recognizable in many languages.
I don’t know why people feel the need to share that they know one person with a name or have heard of one person with a name, and that it has tainted their impression. This is true of literally every name in use — someone knows that person and has an impression of the person. It isn’t relevant, unless the association is culturally pervasive.

I have known a couple people named Paula who I liked and this name is a prettier alternative, but all I think about is "Paulina Novacek", the arms dealer from the movie Undercover Blues.

My mother wanted to name me Paula. I'm glad that my dad vetoed that one. I went to school with a girl named Paulina & that was the first time I had ever heard the name. It's so pretty! It doesn't even need a nickname. I would not have minded Paulina as my name!

A gorgeous, international name. I like the meaning "humble." I also like the Shakespeare reference from a Winter's Tale. The origin of this name is from ancient Rome and it's been in use in the US since before 1880, so I would say it's classic.
