LOVE Pearl!

illsendansostotheworld · 30/12/2025 21:30

Pearl is lovely if pronounced correctly- where l live, people say Pell!

BatsInHibernation · 30/12/2025 21:31

I love Pearl and I really like Talia. I am giving the latter my vote because Pearl feels more of the moment and it comes up a lot on here.
Talia Pearl

ZenLikeAlways · 30/12/2025 21:34

Love your list!
How about Talia Pearl ?

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 30/12/2025 21:56

Carla

SleepQuest33 · 30/12/2025 22:02

My vote would go to Carla

RuthW · 30/12/2025 22:16

Pearl

Needmorelego · 30/12/2025 22:18

Layla or Pearl

CarnationAndPoppy · 30/12/2025 22:21

Can I add Cora?

villamariavintrapp · 30/12/2025 22:25

Are you pronouncing Talia like Taaalia, or like (geni)talia?

pilates · 30/12/2025 22:26

Pearl is my favourite and congratulations 🥳

Giraffehaver · 30/12/2025 22:27

Pearl is gorgeous! Congratulations Flowers

ChocolateCinderToffee · 30/12/2025 22:31

Talia or Pearl.

FerrisWheelsandLilacs · 30/12/2025 22:33

I think Carla is hugely underrated. Easily recognisable, pronounceable and spellable, but rarely used and very pretty sounding. I’d definitely be going with this.

I absolutely hate Pearl. Old fashioned in the worst way, and no nice nick names. They’re not even a nice ‘gem’.

FrightfulNightfull · 30/12/2025 22:37

Talia!!
definitely not Pearl

FlutteryButterfly · 30/12/2025 22:40

Pearl is lovely and uncommon.

Just throwing in Zelda!

Joeninety · 30/12/2025 22:40

JoJo ?

dailyconniptions · 30/12/2025 22:40

Not ayla. Ail, ailing, ailment. Ailer. Not nice.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 30/12/2025 22:41

Carla

Bigearringsbigsmile · 30/12/2025 22:42

Carla

sunflowersblooming · 30/12/2025 22:42

I like Talia and Ayla a lot. Layla is ok. Carla not great. I really don’t like Pearl.

Mumofgirls2017 · 30/12/2025 22:56

pearl or Thalia (prefer spelled like that)

how about Clara?

Needspaceforlego · 30/12/2025 23:09

Carla or Pearl.

Layla - got layed but I would consider Kayla

Talia - reminds me of Italia or something

Ayla - it just seems missing something or bland.

Pettenell · 30/12/2025 23:11

Talia is my favourite from your list, with Layla second.

NewDogOwner · 30/12/2025 23:13

Pearl.
