No, it's totally not from World of Warcraft, I've never even heard of it before I named my son that. I got it from an old western TV show.

Richard Boone played a character, "Paladin" in a western that debuted in about 1957. The character spelled it with one "L".
The word has a meaning also. It is a noun used to identify a champion. A sort of knight in shining armor.
I think the name is just fine. I was a big fan of the show and have all the shows currently on DVD. I just think you should know what the name is all about.
I named my son Royd. Royd, no typo. It too has a meaning. It is a name given a sort of master woodsman. It is northern European I believe.
I do encourage people to select names a bit off the beaten path. There are few things as irritating as calling a name like John in class and having 6 or 7 people respond. I know, I have a common name and have called names in a classroom (about a million times).

With all the references to fictional character and advocates aside.
You really want an boy named "Pal"?
That seems a bit cruel to do to a baby in my view.
Can't you see him at ball practice " throw the ball Pal"
Hey Pal, kick the ball to me!
I would seriuos consider all the ways you can USE the name for the betterment of t he child as an Adult.
A formal sounding name is great, if you have a Kid name that can come from it.
Good luck

Well, it looks like I am only the third person to like this name. I don't know why people are looking at it and reminded of "Aladdin"....? At least he won't be in a class with the 7-10 other little boys named Aidan or Jacob or Jack....
F*ck the people that don't like it!

I'm not familiar with it as a name, to be honest (though in Italian is simply refers to a knight LOL), but it just reminds me of "palindrome." ;)
Also, given the current trend to purposefully misspell a name or add a letter or two to make it somehow "unique," I'm afraid many will simply assume it's a misspelled "Aladdin with a P." Not that into it.

If by Palladin you mean Paladin, then I think it would certainly be interesting to see if he lives up to his name.
"Any determined advocate or defender of a noble cause."
I really would not recommend that in this day and age. Maybe as a middle name, but not a first.

Um, I'm sorry, it's a little weird for me. And yes, weirdness is originality too, but sometimes a little TOO weird, lol.
Maybe try something more sophisticated? Like maybe Albert?
Good Luck!

Do you honestly want to name a baby that with Bin Ladin on the loose !!! And Richard Boone was not the handsomest man !!!! Name him Cheyenne or Sugarfoot or something. Stoney Burke, Matt Dillion, Festus, Quint Asper, McCloud or Chester, Nick, Heath, Jarrod , Trampus etc.
