[Opinions] Paola & Pablo
Would you be weirded out/surprised to hear Pablo or Paola on non-hispanic kids?

Surprised, at first, of course - especially Pablo. Then I'd most likely think, "But what do I do know?" since you can't always tell someone's background just by looking at them. But then I do remember finding it strange/hilarious that my cousin named her non-Hispanic son Diego.

Hi !!!Paola & Pablo ...together?Well...
My first thought is 'They are Spanish' but if they live in America they could be Latino.Pablo is not used here in Italy because we have Paolo of course.Byeeeeeeee

I would probably assume a Paola had some Spanish/Italian heritage but wouldn't find it strange to meet someone who didn't have that heritage. I'd find it very unusual to meet a non-Spanish/Hispanic Pablo, which reads as overwhelmingly Spanish to me.

I know a little Pablo who's not hispanic, so I'm used to that. Paola, I'm not sure. I'd assume she (or at least one of her parents) was Italian. Our former queen was named Paola, that's practically the only thing I can think about when I hear the name. So I guess I'm not much help.

Tbh, I would assume that they are of Latino, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish heritage, at least partially, in order to have those names. In California, it is not uncommon for people to have Spanish names, and yet they do not look "Hispanic." But it usually points to heritage. But ultimately it would be none of my business why that have that name.
