What Do people think of this name??

So I'm having a girl, and I like names that are not necessarily around a lot or too popular. I love Pearl violet but people are saying it's 'old' but what do you guys think of this? My 14 year old daughter was reading baby names out to me and Pearl stood out to me when hearing it.

I think Pearl is a lovely name and Violet is my fav. I think it sounds lovely ☺️

Lovely. Due a revival - you can be the first.

I personally wouldn't combine Pearl and Violet as just find flower and jewel names piled on top of each other a bit much.

I love Pearl. My daughter is Iris and that's a bit old lady according to some people too but I love it!

I don't like Pearl Violet as a combo but people don't use middle names much anyway.

Pearl is lovely, but I agree with PP that it doesn't work with Violet because it sounds a bit like the name of a nail polish.

Would Viola work in the middle instead?

Pearl is fine, but it's a bit grannyish when teamed with Violet.

I like the sound of the name Pearl but I don't like the way that pearls are cultivated, which puts me off the name.

I love it. My cousin’s little girls are Pearl and Frances.

My 15 year old is called Pearl so I love it. I don't particularly like it with Violet in the middle. I think it needs something longer. But it is in the middle spot so I don't suppose it matters much!

Pearl is gorgeous!

I like it - Pearl in Little Fires Everywhere was great too!

Pearl is nice but I’d say it’s getting quite popular.
I know of a few

I think it's a really sweet name.

Tavannach · 03/01/2021 11:14

I like Pearl. Not with Violet though, sounds like a nail polish.

I know someone with a baby Pearl, or as pronounced in her Scottish accent, Peril!

SalemsPot22 · 03/01/2021 11:13

I know 4 baby pearls!

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 03/01/2021 11:13

It is beautiful!!!

I think Pearl is an 'old' name, but given the revival in names like Ivy and Bertie it is no 'older' than that. The only Pearl I know is a middle name on a 16yo.
