Pearl

[QuackQuackQuackQuack]

Be honest

Yes or No

Love it! Its my Mum's name.

.

Pearl's a singer
She stands up
When she plays the piano
In a night club ....

Nope not for me.

I like it.

My head tutor @ college was named Pearl (now 80'ish)

I'm Scottish but also capable of saying r without saying rrr!

I prefer Polly (my favourite P name)

Oooh I like Polly, but I love Penelope.

Fave P name ~ Petra

.

Meant to say I like it.

Don't like it. I know similar names such as Ruby have become very popular but Pearl is not on the same level.

Amongst my mum and gran's generation it was always considered a very brassy and common name.

Do you think it would still be assosiated with brassy and common?

My brother suggested it for his kid and the first thing my mum and his mil said was 'No. that's so common' - they're both in their 60s

I am not keen, its not a name I would use.

Thats intresting Nancy, I didnt know that

i like it.

I like it.

I also know a lovely lady called Pearl White which always makes me smile.

However, dh has just mentioned the Pearl Necklace scenario.

Hope that wouldn't be a nickname at school.

I love it, I would have used it as a middle name if either my boys had been girls.
A bit different than all the flower names which everyone uses now.

i think i is quite rock star. Pearl Lowe?

I love it. Especially since the funny thread on the BBC where girls were called Rose Bush and Pearl Button. I think it's fab!

Rock star sounds better than Brassy and comman

I think a few decades ago Pearl would be associated with the lower end of the scocio economic scale, but it reminds me of an old school story (possibly Angela Brazil) where one of the girls had a mother called Moti which was I think Indian for Pearl. Pretty name.

oops - "socio"

I LOVE it. I would definitely call a DD Pearl but DH not so keen. I love all those sort of names - Dot, Queenie, Dolly, Betsy.

I am an old lady at heart.
