Could you use Pearl if your surname starts with an ‘alla…’ sound? Pearl Allaway, for example?

I really dislike the name Pearl as I cannot pronounce it. In my Scottish accent it always comes out as Peril. I would probably pronounce that full name as Peri Lallaway.

I like Pearl, but there are too many Ls in Pearl Allaway. It makes the stress fall in the wrong place, so it sounds like you’re saying Per Lallaway.

No, too many 'l' sounds to me. Its a tongue twister, and I'm afraid I dislike the name. Very frumpy.

Yes definitely

I love the name and one of my DC has it as a middle name

Of course. It sounds lovely!

Thank you! I was worried it might sound a bit like a tongue twister!
