It sounds like 'half a pearl' to me.

But should be OK as long as your surname isn't 'Necklace'

I'm with Kaekae, Martha is a grumpy old ladies name.

I think Martha is lovely.

There are so many lovely girls names around but Pearl is not one of them, ok for middle name tho.

Not keen on Martha, I'm afraid.

LOVE Martha, not keen on Pearl I'm afraid, but not bad for a middle name. Have you got a boy's name?

I love Pearl, not so keen on Martha, but they have a sort of rhythm to them.

It's lovely, though I prefer Pearl to Martha

I adore Martha. It is a simple pretty biblical name thoat sounds nice on a child or grown up. I don't particularly like Pearl but it is good as a middle name.

If you have "finally" decided then why ask for opinions?(??)
But if you have truly finally decided, and just want to brace yourself for any negative RL reactions, then Big Congrats on getting that Big Decision out of the way.
I like your choice for being freshly original, btw.

i like martha. i think of martha wainwright, and she is cool!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Was initially thinking of Martha Rose but virtually all baby girls that I know have got Mae/May or Rose as a middle name. I wanted something a little different and Pearl seems to fit.
