About to welcome third baby girl who will be a sister to Stella and Juno.

We've narrowed it down two but DP likes both and says it's my choice (Since I'm doing all the work 😂)

Stella, Juno and Pearl
Stella, Juno and Zelda

I also like both pretty much equally. Help!

Pearl is beautiful and goes well with your other girls

I really like Pearl, as each child will have their own name ending sound.

Exactly what I thought

cheapskatemum · 03/07/2026 20:29

I prefer Pearl and think it goes well with your DDs’ names. All lovely names by the way!

Ipsevenenabibas · 03/07/2026 20:29

Pearl is cute.

Namiemcnameface · 03/07/2026 20:26

When I read them I instantly thought Zelda is cool!!! But having read the comments I agree that Stella and Zelda could run into one another and each one having their own end sound would also sway me.

Fab names though!

mimosa1 · 03/07/2026 20:24

Lovely names but it’s true that Stella and Zelda sound a bit too similar so for that reason, Pearl has the edge for me.

mathanxiety · 03/07/2026 20:17

Zelda has the pizazz you need alongside Stella and Juno.

Fab names all.

user293948849167 · 03/07/2026 20:13

Pearl is much nicer than Zelda

Xmasallergies · 03/07/2026 20:05

Pearl.

SinuousTendrils · 03/07/2026 19:39

I have a Pearl and wish I'd named my other Stella, but local pronunciation put the kaibosh(sp?) on it.
Congratulations ❤️

IceLollly · 03/07/2026 19:38

I do like Zelda but I know one in her 50s and she hates it. Although probably won’t stand out as much as it did.

MiddleAgedDread · 03/07/2026 19:37

I think Stella and Zelda sound too alike

Hadit16 · 03/07/2026 19:36

Pearl. I know a lovely Pearl

Foodylicious · 03/07/2026 19:35

Yes. Get some fish.
Name them Zelda, Bob and Frida.

Pearl is lovely btw. And goes well with Stella and Juno.

Terracottateapot · 03/07/2026 19:35

Sorry OP. I really don’t like Pearl (though I’m not sure why). So I’d have to go for Zelda though I’m not mad about that either.
Margot?
Zita?

Thanks everyone, pretty unanimous, and probably what I was leaning towards anyway.

I think I'd have gone Zelda if we didn't already have the other two....we'll have to get a pet!

And if you like Pearl, can I suggest Opal?

24Dogcuddler · 03/07/2026 19:29

Pearl is beautiful.

UnPetitDunPetit · 03/07/2026 19:12

Depends where you live. Pearl sounds pretty in some accents but absolutely awful in others!

NamingNoNames · 03/07/2026 19:09

I don't like Pearl. The meaning is nice but I don't like the sound.

It sounds like Peril in some accents.

ExplodingSmittens · 03/07/2026 19:05

I like Pearl but if you’re big into gaming then Zelda is good too. Reminds me of Zelda Williams.

NamingNoNames · 03/07/2026 19:02

Zelda

Hatty65 · 03/07/2026 18:58

Prefer Pearl.

I associate Zelda with F Scott Fitzgerald's wife and she had serious mental health issues and a sad life.

Arlanymor · 03/07/2026 18:58

Zelda - but I had a great aunt called Elvira.

scotsmumofteens · 03/07/2026 18:55

Another Pearl here xxx
