Expecting DD1 in June. Thinking about Pearl, which is the birthstone for June.

Oh, she loves the song... Elkie brooks sings it, and if I never had another dd, Elke would be her name!

I like it. I know one my age (26), it was very unusual when we were at school together.

I rather like Greta too, which is Norwegian (or Swedish/Danish) for Pearl.

I like Daisy, Laila, Maggie

I think Pearl is making a comeback the number of times I've heard it lately. About time too. Beautiful name.

I love it. I know an older lady called Pearl and she's just lovely. She brings every quality you'd like to the name - gentleness, grace, charm, kindness, sweet nature. It's a beautiful name.

Jack Osborne has a Pearl.

Love the name Pearl. So pretty!

If I had to pick Id go with grace pearl is the whale in spongebob

I love Pearl!

I think Pearl sounds a bit brassy too. She fries eggs wearing a pinny and with a fag hanging out of her mouth. She has nicotine coloured hair and a gentleman caller called Bert.

I love Maggie though.

I used to know a girl called Pearl. She hated it, but I thought it was a gorgeous name!

My dd10's middle name is Pearl and she really likes it. It was my DGM's name and the name of the street we lived on.

I love it

There are more fors than against the 'against' reasons are funny!

Had a friend called Margaret. One notable school report said, 'Margaret, as her name implies, is a pearl in our midst, whose lustre never dims.' Wow.

Wowzers. That teacher had a bit of a pash on ole Margaret.

Indeed! Margaret was nice, but not that nice.

I love Pearl, seriously considered it for dd3 but our surname starts with 'L' so it wouldn't have worked at all.

Go for it it's beautiful.

I like Pearl.

But like vitaminc pointed out, if you really can't decide, formally use the name Margaret/Marguerite, then you can shorten it to Pearl or Daisy and your husband can shorten it to Maggie.
