Thoughts on Pearl?

I have a Pearl. She is 18 and when I asked her if she liked her name she said she loves her name. She loves that she was the only one in school and college. Apparently when she was 12-14ish she wished she was called Evie or Molly so she could blend in more but is now glad she is Pearl!
Hope the opinion of a 'baby' Pearl helps you!

Love it. Also Sapphire which I know divides opinions!

My 6 year old daughter is obsessed with the name Pearl. When she discovered that her Aunty and Uncle were having a little boy she declared "Pearl is a lovely name for a boy too". So she would certainly approve

I love it! It was going to be the middle name if I had a daughter.

I like it, if you're a Janis Joplin fan it's particularly special

Love it, it was my nannas name and everyone complemented her on her name. In her nursing home they used to call her pearly which is such a cute nick name.

One of the nicest mums on our road was called Pearl and I’ve come to associate it with warmth and loveliness. Beautiful name!

Really depends on the accent - as someone said above sounds horrible in a Scottish accent!

I love it and it definitely needs a revival. The only Pearls I know are in their 80s.

Very pretty.

As other pp have mentioned, in my area it would be pronounced as ‘peril’. It also reminds me of pearl in SpongeBob SquarePants (which isn’t a bad thing!)

Tampax pearl

Lovely name and lovely jewel - I was tempted to name my daughter Lu’lu which is Arabic for pearl but went for another name that had a lot of family meaning in the end. It just makes you smile to think of that gorgeous shining stone doesn’t it?

I like it, but being Scottish, can't make it sound nice - Perrul!
