Gorgeous. It says beautiful woman to me. I like Paulina de la Mora off House of Flowers, the Spanish soap opera. Also the name of my favorite niece.

So beautiful! I love it much better than Paula. This is such a beautiful name, I can imagine many nicknames for it, such as Polly, (maybe spelled Pauly or Paulie?) Lina, Aulie, etc. I definitely want to name a child this name. So pretty!
I have met several women from Poland, especially Krakow, who have this name. Each of them tells me, all women in Poland are named "Paulina." Looking at the list, it appears to be overwhelmingly more popular in Poland than elsewhere.
The name Paulina was given to 367 girls born in the US in 2016.

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.

In Russia it writes like Polina and it's a rustic name.
Paulina is a beautiful name. Not common and sounds good for a child and adult female. I actually love all spellings of this name in various languages. It doesn't change much and I like that.
A famous bearer is a character in Shakespeare's play 'The Winter's Tale'. She is the only courtier brave enough to stand up to the king Leontes when he wrongly accuses his wife of adultery.In the 2009 RSC production, it was pronounced "paul-LINE-a".
