I love it

babynamelover · 20/08/2020 10:38

Due a revival 😁

Magicbabywaves · 20/08/2020 10:38

I used it as a middle name, but I think it’s perfect for a first name.

firstshift · 20/08/2020 10:43

beautiful

PlantPotting · 20/08/2020 11:00

ADORE IT! Really lovely name. Would love to use one day. Never met anyone with the name.

I like that it is short, and a pearl is not a bad thing to be associated with.
It is ok.

EThreepwood · 20/08/2020 14:34

I love it 💕

Personally not keen, but maybe it's an age thing. It was my sister's nickname growing up. 4 girls in our family named Prune, Pearl, Beryl and Boo. Pearl was seen as an old lady's name (this was the 1970s). I suppose now older names have come back into fashion.

I know a Pearl in her 80s and one that is a year old. Love it.

PortugalPlace · 20/08/2020 14:52

Really really dislike it. To me it's just an ugly ,frumpy sounding name

KatherineJaneway · 20/08/2020 14:53

Pearl's a Singer

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 20/08/2020 14:56

My Ndn wee one is pearl and her older sister is ruby. They’re both very sweet girls and suit the names

Oneandabean · 20/08/2020 20:20

I can’t help but think pearl necklace and really puts me off. Shame as I like Pearla, but I think there’s too much opportunity for teasing

DramaAlpaca · 20/08/2020 20:21

I think it's frumpy and unattractive as a name. Which is odd as I like pearls.

Enderman · 20/08/2020 20:50

Oh I like it!

june2007 · 20/08/2020 20:53

Pretty name.

daisypond · 20/08/2020 20:53

No. The potential for teasing is too much. I also think it’s frumpy. There was a character in Last of the Summer Wine called it, which might have something to do with it.

Toilenstripes · 20/08/2020 20:55

Frumpy granny name.

StopGo · 20/08/2020 20:57

I like Pearl. Merle is another nice name.

seriousandloyal · 20/08/2020 20:58

Beautiful x

missmouse101 · 20/08/2020 20:59

Awful geriatric name.

Alongcameacat · 20/08/2020 21:01

I know three Pearls. Two of them in their early 50s and one teenager. I’ve known one of them all my life so it isn’t an unusual name to me but I don’t like it much tbh. It should be a pretty name, like Rose for instance, yet it isn’t. It has a similar feel to the name Julie or Amanda to me.
