Pearl

[squanderedzeitgeist]

Love this name and think it's a good choice as a sister for Violet as it's quaintly oldfashioned and delicate yet blowsy at the same time, like Ruby, but not as mainstream. I have come across 2 or 3 in the last couple of years, a good sign, in my opinion. What do you think?

i know a wee girl aged 2 called Pearl, it's just LOVELY on her, she's a sweetheart. definitely a beautiful name.

I dont hate it, but it's a bit trying too hard imo. I much prefer Ruby.

I just think of Violet Elizabeth Bott from the Just William books (I'll thcream and thcream until I'm thick)!So that name would be out. Pearl sounds like a girl from a 1920's school story.

It reminds me of that cranky woman in "Last of the Summer Wine" and that puts me off a bit. Think Violet is sweet though.

Has Violet become a trendy name?
I think Pearl is pretty but for some reason, I don't really like one syllable names. Not much help from me. Sorry.
