Pearl or Dorothy or Flora

We've named our daughter Pearl, but after saying it for a few months it has felt a bit dusty, and I wish it was longer than one syllable. So we are considering changing it to either Dorothy (Dot, Dottie, Dory as nicknames) or Flora (Flor?).

For context, our other children are Leo, Newell, and Coco.

Would appreciate any thoughts!

I'd change it to Dorothy. I'm so over having to listen to vegans pointing out what a pearl is, and I wouldn't want to have to inflict that on a child.

I'd keep Pearl, it's lovely
