First names to go with middle name Pearl?

Hi everyone,

I could do with some inspiration! I'd like to use Pearl as a middle name for my baby girl. Partly because she's due in June (birth stone) and partly in memory of my Grandma who died recently. She was called Marjory which I'm not too keen on but the meaning of Marjory is Pearl. I like the fact it's quite a subtle reference and a way of me remembering her without upsetting other relatives whose names we don't use (read angry MIL!)

Anyways, our favourite name for a girl had been Penelope but I'm not sure it works with Pearl? And PP aren't great initials to start a name with maybe? I'd really appreciate any ideas for first names to go with Pearl. The other kinds of names we like are Catherine, Violette, Constance, Josephine etc. Nothing too faddy or popular and something that could be abbreviated.

Thank you so much for any ideas- my mind is blank and I seem to be going around in circles!

Ooh, these are definitely the inspiration I needed. I love Felicity and Vivienne. I'd never thought of Isadora or Theodora and I love both of those- I guess she could be Dora for short? Adeline is gorgeous too. Time to try and convince my husband, Hahahah. He's so much fussier about girls names than boys. Who knows why?!!! Thank you so much!

I love the name Pearl, I'd have two middle names Pearl being the third name so it won't sound such a mouthful with Penelope.

I actually like the alliteration of Penelope Pearl! Sounds like a news reader :) then you could call her Nell too (a favourite of mine😂 )
