What do you think of the name Pearl? Our surname is soooo hard to match a nice girls name to.

I think it is a beautiful name.

It is on our list of potentials if we have another baby.

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 15:24

LOVE the name Pearl ! It was on my list too but got 2 boys 😀

chickacharlie · 30/07/2018 15:26

Okay and what about if your surname was somehow related to the sea/fish? Grin

I think that's cool -as long as it's not Clam or something

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 15:37

What I mean is as long as it's not comical

I'm racking my brain ow trying to think what it could be 😬

jazzyfizzles · 30/07/2018 15:37

It was on my lit too but a friend snagged it first! It's beautiful

chickacharlie · 30/07/2018 15:38

@beachmamma It's not far off a clam Blush

How about Beryl if you want to avoid the fish connotations 😂

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 15:39

Oh 🤭

Moonshine86 · 30/07/2018 15:41

Named my daughter pearl so love it!

skankingpiglet · 30/07/2018 15:54

Lovely name! It seems to be rising in popularity around my area though, which may or may not bother you?

scolotti · 30/07/2018 15:56

Not if your surname is related to fish.

OhNoGroken · 30/07/2018 15:58

Pearl is a diminuative of Margaret - what about that? And then you could choose Pearl or Maggie/Peggy etc

TheGhostOfYou · 30/07/2018 16:41

Pearl is lovely

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 30/07/2018 16:42

Love Pearl- on my list.

sorry not Maggie or Peggy.

FilledSoda · 30/07/2018 16:46

I love that name , I can't think what your surname could be.
Would people even realise there was a fishy theme?

RavenWings · 30/07/2018 16:51

I like it but not if you've an obviously sea themed surname.

Pearl Shell or something... Grin

chickacharlie · 30/07/2018 16:51

Yeah there would be a definite fishy theme but I'd have to confidently own it Grin

1st bday- under the sea theme
2nd bday- the little mermaid theme

And repeat haha

Pearl Fisher?

merlotmummy14 · 30/07/2018 17:33

Most kids would immediately reference that to Pearl Krabs the spoilt girl whale from Spongebob Squarepants imo. Thats immediately what I thought of but the show might be starting to go out of trend so younger kids might not know about it. Your choice though if you like it.

chickacharlie · 30/07/2018 17:41

Not fisher- it's another mollusc!

holycityzoo · 30/07/2018 17:47

Pearl crab?
Pearl lobster?

I love the name by the way but I now need to know the surname!!Grin

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 17:57

Pearl Mussel 😬 - I don't know Op , my worry would be brats bullying her for her name

beachmamma · 30/07/2018 17:57
