Re: Etymological news-flash for Paul, Pauline, Paolo, Pavlos, etc
Neither am I small nor humble! But a literal diminutive of my mother, who happens be called Paula. She, on the other hand, is great person with a great mind and even greater proportions - 1.75cm and of impressive overweight.
BTW: I´m not convinced that I like your intended switch of label into Pavros. Any other possibilities of honoring your cultural heritage?

Nothing small or humble about me too! Having a name that denotes something blatantly at odds with one's appearance/persona can be cool, in an absurd sense (as in curly of the three stooges). This is one of the reasons I will probably end-up sticking with Pavlos :)
