Have two children already: Miles and Abigail, could Pearl be the third? Is it in the same league? Too trendy/ dated?

It's beautiful, I love it and of course you can use it. Your children do not need to have names that "match" mine don't Smile

What is your last name?

BOF · 14/07/2013 23:44

Pearl's a singer.

I want to like it but I don't. I like names like Lois, Hazel, so I should like Pearl too.

Abigail is very mainstream and timeless compared with Pearl.

I like it, very trendy though. I know 2 Pearls under 3 in Bristol.

I was going to say I'm scottish and it comes out peril Grin
I was also going to say I like it. It's a lovely name.

I love it but dh's family is Scottish so it would be pounced "Peril" and rhyme with Beryl Hmm

I know a lovely little girl called Pearl.

I like it but it depends on where you are in the country. Couldn't use it where I'm from (West Country!).

SoftSheen · 14/07/2013 22:08

Not keen, sorry.

Old lady- like Winifred, Ethel, Mildred, Muriel etc.(my pet hates)
It doesn't go with your other ones.

Annunziata · 14/07/2013 22:01

It doesn't 'match' to me.

Wbdn28 · 14/07/2013 22:01

It's a lovely name and goes well with the other two. More fashionable than it was a few years ago, but not overdone.
