Paloma 🔥

This is my daughter;s name, and my 17 month old niece calls her Moma <3

I chose this for my baby girl, Paloma Rose. Always was my absolutely favorite girl name, followed by Sophia <3

One of my all time favorites! Strong yet soft and feminine. An ageless name. Lola is a nickname option but nobody will jump to use the nn, so it's perfect!

Totally agree - I have a soft spot for long, feminine girls names that also manage to sound 'strong and grounded'. I feel like this fits in the same category as Francesca, Grace, Josefina, and Lucia.

It actually means pigeon... Sorry but no...

My ex-boyfriend and I were talking baby names and Paloma Marisol was one of the names we both liked.

I think doves are just white pigeons so it's really the same bird. Makes perfect sense to be the same word. This is one of my favorite names because of the ballet dancer. I'm obsessed with her, but for that reason, I may not use the name. It's so strongly associated with another person for me.

Palomi (पौलोमी) means 'Endless Beauty' in Sanskrit.

I've been oddly charmed by this name since I read Captain Vorpatril's Alliance- one of the female characters is a Paloma stuck with the family nickname "Pidge" (because her siblings found out about the "dove" meaning and jumped straight to "pigeon").

Um hi, your nieces have AMAZING names! In love with that sibset

A very pretty, soft, sophisticated name!

Lovely, soft name with a peaceful meaning. The links to Palomas Faith and Picasso are good, and you don't hear it often. Makes for a great choice in my book!

If I were to write a book featuring upper-crusty tween/teenaged British sisters from the early 20th century, I would use Paloma & Jemima for a sibset.

It does mean 'dove' in Spanish, BUT it also means 'pigeon'. The word is the same for both, just saying...

I have three nieces named Clementine, Clover and Paloma. I think their names are adorable. Paloma has a special soft spot in my heart as it means 'dove' and my grandmother's name was (no joke) Dovie. (;

This is just one of those names that I do not understand the appeal

Paloma is lovely. To me, it sounds feminine and pretty, plus strong and grounded and substantial in weight. My first association with it is the singer Paloma Faith, whose name is awesome! I love the meaning of dove, and for some reason I imagine a dignified ambassador/ woman in politics when I think of Paloma. Good associations :)

Yeah, I know what you mean, I adore the meaning, but it reminds me of Palomino. :-(

A palomino is a breed of horse. Tan with blonde mane. people are probably reminded of that

where do people get this horse association? Horses get names like Lucky Stripe or Rhapsody in Blue. The description for Palomina mentions horses too, I don't get it?

I just don't feel the sparkle when it comes to Paloma...

I don't get why people like this name so much, but it's okay. Definitely not a favourite of mine, though.

I love this name but at the same time it makes me think of melanoma or something.

I feel like this is a situation that would happen with me and my mom. She tends to be close minded when it comes to naming.

One day I said to my mom. "I love the name Paloma! Don't you think its so sweet!?" and she said "it reminds me of a horses name." She ruined it for me so much and I definitely don't have her approval for Paloma as a future baby name :( Oh well, theres still too many other names I love so I guess that helped narrow it down a bit hahaha :)

I love Paloma. She has a lovely meaning, great history, and many nickname possibilities. I think my favorite nicknames are Lola and Lo.

I absolutely love this name! Sweet, underused, and comes with the adorable nn Loma. :)
