I like my name only becasue it is rarely shortened (never by people who expect to speak with me again). Other than that - not a great name. St. Paul may have been a good man - but not the'sort of fella one wants to hang out with.

Well, my name is Sabrina and i've only met about 5 other people with my name. i love it because It's not too common but known enough that people pronounce it correctly

The letter "X" had an influence from the arabic language and that is why the pronunciation of all the "X" became "J" in Spanish or "H" in English. Per example, Mexico, Mejico, Javier, Xavier, Ximena, Jimena. Therefore, the old phonetic pronunciation is "ks", and the most common is "J" in Spanish, "H" in English. Both pronunciation are right.

I love my name Paul but the only thing wrong with it is that you can make so much fun of it: "Polywog," "Pollyanna," "Polygon," "Super Polygrip," and on, and on. Can be a tough name to have as a kid because of this. But I still like it and I'm still proud to have it as my name.

Paul Paul Paul. I love that name....Paul. WEEEEEEEE I love Paul Isn't it great❤️❤️❤️ Ok sorry about that. Now my real opinion.....Paul is a biblical person, and Paul is an easy name to say...for most people, and is great. Paul is not a name thats easy to be made fun of, so bullies can't really make fun of you using your name. Now I understand and I'make fun of the people that used to make fun of me. "LOL" OK Bye. *Paul PS:// If you don't like Paul..........Never Mind.

Paul, a man who is addictive and unforgettable. Someone who a woman, since a girl, has always desired to be close to. Distance is his kryptonite, and he will be yours. He is intelligent, sarcastic, and has an infectious laugh. Plays the guitar, has a crystalline voice which infects your veins with fluttering dragonflies. He is the one that was so close, yet got away for reasons you don't understand. His memory brings to mind Neruda poetry and hot summer nights.

I have not met many Pauls in my life. It is my Grandfather's name and my Uncle's name and they both started with little and died millionaires. St Paul in the Bible was a powerful cat, and wrote the most powerful parts of the Bible. I am a Paul too, I'm not a millionaire in dollars, but I have a life that is rich and rewarding beyond normal expectations. Like St Paul, the first part of my life was not so wonderful, but it ends up that all that 'bad' part was necessary to become the great guy I am today. My name has been a powerful and positive influence in my life. It is a good name to have, and a super great name to live up to.
