My name is Paola, and i am from Poland. When I'moved to Norway no one could pronounce my name correctly, or even write it correctly. Because many people wrote my name wrong, i got many weird nicknames. And some people still call me by my nicknames. Everytime when someone write my name wrong i correct them. One time someone wrote My as Pablo. My friends call me: Paul, Pula, Pablo, Ebola etc. One time when i went bowling with my friends, i said my name to the man which was writing down the names, and he wrote it Puoala. I don't care how people call me anymore, i did before, but i got used to it.

I always try to correct them like everyday until I at least get them to say Paula, which I also hate.

My name Isn't Paola, but one of my best friends is named that. It's incredible how many people are named the'same thing, yet nobody really knows if they're the only one in that neighborhood.
Hello, my name is Paola as well and I live in Missouri. I was just searching my name and i came to this. All of these comments made me laugh:D And YES! NO ONE in my school can get it right. Okay, I'm Mexican and have a weird accent so when people ask me my name I say "Paola" in Spanish, but then'they are like "pay-oh-lu❤️". It gets annoying at first but i just got used to it and with all the nicknames as well. My family calls me Pao, Palita, and mainly Lita. People at my school call me Payola or as everyone has said "crayola". And my friends call me Mexican ninja or Pablo because they could never pronounce my name right. And the one benefit for me of having the name Paola is that I'm the only one in my entire school/where i live with that name. I used to get bullied because of my name, but i have learnt to deal with it and ignore everyone. Don't worry about your name or anything because it is beautiful. If you are having a hard time with someone pronouncing your name wrong then just come and find me so i can deal with it. Don't worry us Paola's has got each othe's backs;) Or i can give you this hug if you are having a bad day or being sad because people bullying you because of your name (>^.^)> ... wow i typed a lot. Oh well,...have a nice day beautiful!!

My name is Paola and i live in Canada. i've never met anyone with the'same spelling as my name. I have gaven up after awhile trying to help people pronounce my name, so i just left it be and let them call me "paUla". It'sometimes gets annoying when people try to say my name name, you get the hang of it and correct them. I feel very unique because of my name, it makes me feel like no one else can mix me up with another "paola" and othe's do say its a beautiful name :) .

My name is Paola and I love it. When someone asks me to pronounce it I tell them to say POW and LA and put them together. I like the fact that when someone yells "Paola" I know they mean me, and not the other 10 possible Paola's in ear-shot. The only time I have not enjoyed my name is when I worked as a bank teller and people would read my name tag and and say Pay-oh-la's got the cash-oh-la. Not so much fun!

I'm Canadian, of Italian descent, lived and travelled around the world. Don't take offense if someone doesn't pronounce your name correctly, It's exotic and beautiful. Unfortunately, most North Americans especially in the US have a hard time with their own English language and many are not as worldly as those who have travelled from foreign countries to live in NA. Roll your eyes when'they mispronounce and correct them. It's "pow-la" ...beautiful name Isn't it❤️

I live in Canada and nobody has problems pronouncing my name ....they know how to pronounce the 'O'. Pa O la... It's written with a 'o' so people that don't know how to pronounce it may not know their alphabet well. Here in Canada It's an original name, I have not met another Paola yet. And I think It's a pretty Italian name, my mother found it in a Italian Names Book. I think Paola is a pretty and original name here in canada.

I'm Spanish living in Houston, TX. I get really mad because they don't know how to pronounce It'so most of the time I said that they can call me Paula. My friends they don't do it, they try sometimes really hard. American people don't have the ability to say a and o in a consecutive way the join those 2 vowels. I guess that I can't blame them because they can't pronounce it. I think that is a beautiful and unique name. I'm really proud of it
I love my name but it is really annoying when people call me payola or Pablo or Pabs. I really love my name but i don't like how people pronounce my name.
