If you know a Pearl

If you know a Pearl, does it get shortened or lengthened to anything?

I like it and it's the current front-runner after much vetoing by my DH, but wonder if it would become Pearly which I'm not a fan of. I also wonder if a one syllable name sounds incomplete.

The one I know lives in the West Country and is pronounced a bit like per-rul in that accent which puts me off a bit.

@showmethegin I wouldn't let it being your nieces mn put you off. I don't even know the middle names of most of my nieces/ nephews.

Love the name Pearl, I have an aunt in her late 70s called Pearl. Don't think is is shortened by anyone
