Pearl- yay or nay?

[saffy85]

I'm 5 months pregnant with DC2 who we don't know the sex of.

I want to include my gran in some way with regards to the name, she's been so supportive of me and my littl family since having DD 3 years ago and is one of the few people in my family who has never judged me.

DP and I have more or less agreed Cameron is on the shortlist for a boy (my gran's middle name) but DP doesn't like her first name which is Margaret. Fair enough imo (I do, but I'll get over this) and I have suggested Pearl instead. Margaret means Pearl apparently which is lovely. DP seems to like it. Also Pearl Jam is one of his favourite bands. which is how I sold it to him in the end.

Also DP is picking the first name for this DC as I chose DD's and he likes Alexa/Alexia. We both agree on this (although I also like Faith for a girl) Does Alexa/Alexia Pearl sound ok? Do the initials APW stand for anything bad? (Baby's surname begins with W).

Don't be sorry- I asked for opinions be a bit stupid of me to get pissed off that not everyone agrees with my own!

Like I said I wanted to include Margaret in there somewhere but DP doesn't like it much. I sold Pearl to him in that I can think of a couple of really cool Pearls as well as his fave band- Pearl Jam he seems pretty sold on it for now.

I don't mind if it does a Ruby- I like Ruby too FWIW but a friend called their Boxer puppy Ruby so now can't imagine a child called Ruby without picturing a a massive overgrown puppy that eats worn underwear and does really stinky farts.

Love Pearl, but not Alexia.

I have my mum's 1st name as a middle name- it was also my nan's 1st name (Louise) so I don't think there's anything funny about that side of things

My dds middle name is margaret, after my Grandmother.
