to want to call dd2 Pearl?

[violetpancakes]

DD1 is called Violet and although I'm not yet pregnant we're planning another baby. If it's a girl I'd dearly love to call her Pearl but dh disagrees. However, he likes the name Ruby, which although it is lovely, is very popular, and hypothetical dd2 wouldn't be the only one in her class. Now I think Pearl is going to be the new Ruby. I think it's a very lovely name with Victorian gothic overtones, like Violet. How can I convince him it's not the name of a stripper. And yes I know about 'pearl necklaces' but the name Lola is popular despite the tranny references in the song by the Kinks.

Looking for some back-up from like-minded people out there!

I know someone with a Violet and Pearl. I was a bit meh about it when they announced it but now I think it is really nice.

I don't think you should use a name your DH hates, whatever name it is.

Aaah zombie!

Another here intriguied to know if op had another child and what it's name is.

Zombie thread, maybe I know the OP!

Bumping because I want yo know too! 😂

Pearl? Are you there, Pearl? I really hope OP's still knocking around and will come to tell us

I hope the OP did name her daughter Pearl, then went on to have a son and name him Dean....

As long as your last name isn't necklace

I have a Ruby in my Brownies, moving - I think it was mega popular in 2007 courtesy of the Kaiser Chiefs.
