Paula is another of those names that suffer from the #TiffanyProblem. It’s not modern at all and dates back to Ancient Rome. It means “small” and “humble”.

Was rereading a Father Brown story and noticed that it had nark used in the context of informant. Turns out the word was first used in late Victorian England. An example of the #tiffanyproblem ?
