Just that really. I'm open to ideas but am trying to avoid names in the top 100.

I know of sisters Pearl and Ethel - both under 10. Prefer Elsie to Ethel though.

Pearl & Ruby!

I like Pearl and Posy which someone suggested.

I always think of Dinah to go with Pearl, from Starlight Express Blush

I like Pearl and Coral.
Maimie? Greek for Margaret
Cordelia

All great "sea" names

Purplegirly, I also love Coral but wasn't sure if it was a bit predictable. I'm not keen on the actual colour though.

Ivy was the first name that came to mind

Bailey

My mum is Pearl and her sister is Nancy.

Earnshaw · 22/07/2013 22:40

Bailey or Barley, misterioso?

AmandaPandtheTantrumofDoom · 22/07/2013 22:40

Ivy

Margaret means Pearl, so maybe best to avoid it. Daisy is often a nickname for Margaret (Marguerite) as well.

I would avoid another jewel name, sounds a bit twee? A flower name would sound nice.

baddyfreckleface · 23/07/2013 09:38

Ooh, I have an Ivy and an Olive!

We also loved Etta, Iris, Agnes, Tess,

baddyfreckleface · 23/07/2013 09:39

Oh and Pearl is lovely!

burberryqueen · 23/07/2013 09:39

Ruby?

burberryqueen · 23/07/2013 09:41

oh sorry didnt read thread, i see that has already been suggested!
yes there was a Pearl and Ruby in 'Behind the scenes at the museum' - a really good read.
