Pearl, with this surname

[Dazedandbemused0]

Could you use Pearl if your surname starts with an ‘alla…’ sound? Pearl Allaway, for example?

Of course. It sounds lovely!

Thank you! I was worried it might sound a bit like a tongue twister!

Yes definitely

I love the name and one of my DC has it as a middle name

No, too many 'l' sounds to me. Its a tongue twister, and I'm afraid I dislike the name. Very frumpy.

I like Pearl, but there are too many Ls in Pearl Allaway. It makes the stress fall in the wrong place, so it sounds like you’re saying Per Lallaway.

I really dislike the name Pearl as I cannot pronounce it. In my Scottish accent it always comes out as Peril. I would probably pronounce that full name as Peri Lallaway.

I have lots of L’s in my name too. It’s fine- it really really is

There are better sounding names with that surname.

Could sound like paella?

I really dislike the name Pearl, just doesn’t suit a beautiful new baby.

This!
Pearl is a beautiful name but with the surname heavy on the 'l' prepare for every teacher forever more to ask, 'can you spell that please'......

It's pretty written down but doesn't sound very nice. I hear Purl.

I think it sounds lovely

Pearl is due a revival I think.

I think it all blends into one, too many Ls for me, sorry.

I think it's fine, lovely name

I thought the surname was going to start with "Jam..." 😳

I like it.

It's lovely. You will be Mother of Pearl 😊

😂

I like the name but I do think it's a bit tongue twistery. Sorry.

I loved the name Emily but it had the same effect with my surname.

You could have it as a middle name as you rarely say that out loud.

Agree with this.

or even Purlallaway

I think it's lovely and goes well with that surname. I knew a little pPearl at one of my kids schools. I always thought it lovely.

Because of the band?
