[PW] Pale -- is it a name?

[Douglas Anderson]

Phalbe --

Do you mean "names that could be translated as 'pale'"?

"Finn" [Irish], "Gwen" [Welsh], "Blanche" [French] and "Bianca"
[Italian] come to mind, though it'd be stretching to say that "pale"
was a close translation of any of those -- they're all words for
"white"

Or did you have in mind something more like "names that are pronounced
the same way 'pale' is pronounced in English"?

Or maybe "names that are spelled p-a-l-e"?

"Pale" is listed here http://www.alohafriendsluau.com/names.html as a
Hawaiian transliteration of various American/English names ("Bree",
for instance).
