About Paulie
Paulie is one short form that never caught on the way Stevie and Danny did, except for the sadistic mama's boy on The Sopranos. Pauley buttons it up and turns it into a surname.
Paulie for girls#14503 US
Boyish diminutive of Paula, Pauline, Paulette or Paulina, with new style value as part of the nicknameish Billie, Frankie, Stevie, and Scottie gang. Pauley makes it more surname-ish while Polly ties its peppy sound to mother Molly.
Pronounced PAW-lee.
