What do you think of the name Pearl? Is it already or likely to become popular or date do you think? Do you know any children/babies named Pearl? Honest opinions welcome.

I'm afraid it reminds me of the SpongeBob character.

I love it but don't ever move yo scotland. She will be forever known as peril Grin it is such a pretty name though.

I obviously like the name, it's just once it's on a tv show, it takes away the 'specialness' of the name, if that makes sense!

Noooo!!! It's the character!!! Urgh!!!

Kim from eastenders just named her baby Pearl so I'd imagine it'll be a lot more popular this year.

Is that the character or the actress. If you see what I mean Confused

It's beautiful but not to fluffy or girly. I love it!

I do think it's a really pretty name though.

I don't think it is common yet but it is pretty trendy - hipster parents have been naming their children things like Pearl and Walter for a while where I am.

I have a Pearl, she is pretty adorable Grin. I'm constantly complimented on her name, she is not the only Pearl in school either!

She's almost 5 and I still find it a very lovely name...

I heard a little girl being called that today and thought how cute it sounded.

It's not at all common - but then, I don't know many babies or small children.
