I don't know how to explain it but here it sounds as it's written......
the "Pa" part sounds like in "pasadena"....... the "o" doesn't sound "o-u" just "o" like you know in I don't know maybe "Orlando"...... and the "la" sounds like in "Lara" (Croft... hehe)
so its: Paola!!!
hehe got it?
sorry if I confused you more.... I hardly understood π
