Sarah Pauline vs. Strange vs. Okay

I have a big problem, I have always liked the name Sarah and wanted to use it for my daughter and Pauline is my mother’s name. Does it sound too much like Sarah Palin? I had this name picked out a long time ago before I knew about Sarah Palin and now I am having a daughter and don’t know what to do. Help! Thanks

Well, i no one will know her middle name unless she offers it. It is similar, but if it means something to you, use it!

1. Pauline doesn’t sound like Palin, unless you don’t know how to pronounce one of them. The connection never entered my mind until I read your detailed question.

2. I suspect Palin is finished with national politics, unless she joins congress as an Alaskan rep later, but she probably won’t return to such national limelight as before, so I doubt she will be on anyone’s mind when your child is old enough to stand before them with paper id.

3. Use it if you like it, its not strange, except to say that you might be able to find better combinations if you weren’t so committed to this one firstname and this one family name for a MN.

I think it will be fine. If you are that worried, use a variation of one of the names. Sarah Paulette is cute and would still be honoring your mother.

I wouldn’t hesitate to name a girl Sarah Pauline.
