    @winner: Y'all should see her sons. They travel around the country saying "OOOooo- weeeeeEEE!" to people about their homemade recipes.

    To their credit, these are smaller producers I haven't heard of, always with fresh ingredients. I could just do without the added soundtrack.

    (And probably watch too much FN to begin with, which is what I get for having a crush on Alton, Bobby (don't say anything), Mario, Morimoto, Marcus, and The Chairman.)

    And Paula is entertaining! My boyfriend is in love with her and I've spent many a Saturday night watching Paula's Party!

    I've never met a Paula, but based on everyone's descriptions I think I need a Paula in my life. Right now.

    Paula is a mom name in the English-speaking world? But it's such a pretty name!
    All the Paulas I know are actually Ana Paulas. For some reason I don't know and can't really explain, it seemed to be a popular name combo among certain sub-sectors of the aspirational upper middle class of my country's capital city, so during the periods I lived there, I'd be friends with at least one Ana Paula. I know five of them and they're all lovely, polite, a little too-easily scandalized and really sharp dressers. It was one Ana Paula who took me shopping for scarves in Paris, and another Ana Paula who arrived with a bottle of vodka ready to comfort me after an awful break-up when I lived in a small town in the Alps. Another Ana Paula got married a few years ago and made her friends sing "Everybody's Changing" at the reception.

    @Casquivana: I kind of like the Spanish/Italian pronunciation better. Kind of like "Pow-la" instead of "Polla".

    Wouldn't Paula be a kooky Southern mom? Other than a couple of the celebrity examples, every time I've met a Paula or Pauline she's been an older Southern woman. It seems like it's more popular in that region of the country.

    My mother's best friend is a Paula. She's a sweet, goofy Southern lady and I love her to death. She's like a quirky aunt, and she has the funniest stories, like the one where she thought "No Country for Old Men" was going to be a comedy for some reason. Her playback of her reactions was priceless.

    I need to call her up.

    This is funny because it IS my mom's name. She's way more snarky/bitchy than nutty, though.

    My MIL is named Pauline, and she is a wonderful and truly eccentric woman. When I first started dating my future husband, we went over to her house and she was in an artistic phase where she covered random objects in tin foil. She also shops almost exclusively out of the the discount shopping carts at the grocery store and gives us gifts of socks, sponges and cash.

    I've known one Paula, and she was in her 60's and beyond fabulous. Multiple husbands, always dressed to the nines, a mouth like a sailor. We worked together in a boutique. She didn't really have to work and was only there sporadically, but I loved her because she wouldn't put up with any shit from our high-maintenance customers.

    1) what about Olivia Williams?
    2) Really happy at the B5 shout out...rare to see outside of geekdom, and even then, a bit rare these days (although I will say that the Ivanova/Talia relationship was kind of confirmed much later, although after Talia was safely subsumed in the alternate persona....ok, shutting up now)

    I've always loved this name and would want to use it for my hypothetical daughter, because it's also a family name. I'm kind of hoping it'll fall out of fashion before I'm ready to have kids.

    In reply to O Is For Olivia: Precocious, Passionate, & Up For A Lesbian Cruise
    You may recall this was also the name of Raven-Simone's character on the Cosby show. I was never entirely clear on how she got there (adopted? grandchild?), but she had one of the most hilarious moments on that show.

    The Cos is talking to her, and she's telling him how she's going to name all her children Olivia. He asks her how she's going to call them when she wants them, and she calls out "Olivia! Olivia!"

    To which the Cos naturally enough asks, "But what if you only want one Olivia?"

    She responds, "One Olivia! I just need ONE OLIVIA!"

    Cracks me up every time.

    @buttonflyer: I loved little Olivia on that show. I think she was the daughter of the oldest sister (therefore granddaughter to the Cos) whose name I can't for the life of me remember. But, she was super cute and hilarious and whenever she was on, she got all the best lines.
