I like the name Pearl but I'm worried how people would pronounce it in different accents? I would say it 'Purl' but I think my DH's side of the family would say it 'Peh-ril'. How would you say it?

See, I'm Scottish and I know how it should be pronounced, but I roll my Rs so it would come out as Peril.

Well I'm Scottish and pronounce it as Peh-ril.

Where is your DHs family from?
