Now according to the US Census Bureau in the 1990 census Paul was the 13th most common name with 0.948% of the sample population having that name.
Ok with that many Paul’s and it’s declining popularity over the last 15 years I think it’s time to recognise the pick of the crop.
I’ve introduced the Paul of the Day category to highlight top Paul’s.
Popularity: 13% [?]
