What do you think of the name Pearl? Our surname is soooo hard to match a nice girls name to.

Much prefer Coral.
What about Marina.

I have a Pearl. She's Pearl Betty aged 5. We don't know any others at any age.

Lulu is Pearl in Arabic so maybe that could be an alternative?

I know a Diamond, she's an older lady and awesome. I also know a Ruby, Rupa (Silver in Hindi) & Sonali (Golden in Hindi)

Pearl Scallop/Mussel/Ammonite!?

I do love the name though

Picknickers · 30/07/2018 23:01

Pearl Cockle? Pearl Whelk? Pearl Razor-Clam? I wouldn't.

Pearl Winkle?

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 17:57

Have you got a second favourite ?

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 17:57

Pearl Mussel 😬 - I don't know Op , my worry would be brats bullying her for her name

holycityzoo · 30/07/2018 17:47

Most kids would immediately reference that to Pearl Krabs the spoilt girl whale from Spongebob Squarepants imo. Thats immediately what I thought of but the show might be starting to go out of trend so younger kids might not know about it. Your choice though if you like it.

Yeah there would be a definite fishy theme but I'd have to confidently own it Grin

I like it but not if you've an obviously sea themed surname.

Pearl Shell or something... Grin

FilledSoda · 30/07/2018 16:46

I love that name , I can't think what your surname could be.
Would people even realise there was a fishy theme?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 30/07/2018 16:42

Love Pearl- on my list.

sorry not Maggie or Peggy.

TheGhostOfYou · 30/07/2018 16:41

Pearl is lovely

OhNoGroken · 30/07/2018 15:58

Pearl is a diminuative of Margaret - what about that? And then you could choose Pearl or Maggie/Peggy etc

scolotti · 30/07/2018 15:56

Not if your surname is related to fish.

skankingpiglet · 30/07/2018 15:54

Lovely name! It seems to be rising in popularity around my area though, which may or may not bother you?

Moonshine86 · 30/07/2018 15:41

Named my daughter pearl so love it!

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 15:39

Oh 🤭

SayNoToCarrots · 30/07/2018 15:38

How about Beryl if you want to avoid the fish connotations 😂
