Pamela is in a category of names that is really growing on me - antique invented literature names. Like Vanessa, Camilla, Ophelia, Perdita, etc. I used to find it quite dull but I am starting to warm up to it, especially as a middle name. It is rather dated - I only knew a single Pam my age growing up, it always seemed like a "mom name" to me (which means it's now a "grandma name").

There's something friendly and also elegant about it; it's approachable but also smooth and lovely. When I remember it was popular among aristocrats for their daughters in the 30s, that gives it a it more charm, a bit more sleekness.
