i'll agree that paloma sounds nice for a ladies name but not in english. eek.
it reminds me of the time i tried to explain to one of my students what a pigeon was. i didn't have the spanish word for it at the time so i used more english words to explain. i came up with "city bird", you know every city has those birds in the center.
Interesante. Parece que desde el punto de vista científico no hay diferencia entre "pigeon" y "dove", de modo que los dos términos resultan sinónimos, aunque cada uno de ellos tiene connotaciones que dependen de los hábitos lingüísticos. (Como en el caso de "raven" y "crow", es poca la ayuda que nos puede ofrecer un diccionario común a quienes no somos angloparlantes nativos).
when i was looking into making this move, i sought out blogs of others who made the journey before me. i wanted to know how they planned, if they were nervous and how much money they spent. i didn't find too many blogs like this, so i started my own. follow me as a give up a comfortable good american life for an argentine adventure.

Dos palomas famosas son la española Paloma Picasso, hija de Pablo Picasso, y la argentina Paloma Herrera, ballerina del ABT.

gracias, no supe!
I knew about Paloma Picasso, but not the other.
It's a cute nickname in English, I always thought :)

I always thought paloma was a dove, not a pigeon. The song una paloma blanca is about a dove.
