What do you think of the names Lula , Iris, Violet and Pearl?

[wafer]

Pray tell...

Love Lula and violet.

Like Violet despite Charlie and the choc factory.
Iris not fussy
Lula too like lola.
Pearl reminds me of that country song Pearl's a singer sung by my mates gay semi transvestive flatmate on top of bars tables etc whenever he had one to many sherrys.

Dodn't mind Lula
Not decided on Iris - jurys out still
Violet - love it
Pearl - NO, no not for me, no

Think Iris is lovely. Quite keen on Violet, but it's a bit close to 'violent'. Don't like Pearl.

Lula sounds nuts
Pearl like a pearl necklace
Violet is gorgeous

Iris is wannabe posh like Sadie Frosts daughter

Lula reminds me of Harry Enfield going 'looolooo' dressed up as a baby

Not keen on any of them TBH. I do like the old-fashioned names though. Hope and Grace especially.

Pearl is the best of the lot.

Know some Germans called Iris and not desperately keen.

Don't like Violet.

Lula sounds like a euphemism for fanny (sorry if anyone's child is called Lula! )

Agree with Ellbell about Lula. I know Victorian names are coming back in, but Pearl, Violet and Iris just make me think of old ladies like my great-aunts.

violet is my dds middle name, so obviously i love it, and lula is my mates dds name, also like it, dont mind iris too much, but not keen on pearl.

Don't like Lula, like the others.

I had two great-aunts called Violet and Iris. All their sisters had flower names too.

OK but apart from Lulu reminds me of old ladies. Lulu is more of a pets name imo. sorry

Irsi - very nice
Violet 0 okish

LuLu and Pearl - not good!

Not keen on any I am afraid - too old-fashioned excetpt for Lula which could be a dog/cat.

I rather like them all....

But, mostly Violet, then Iris, then Pearl, then Lula.

Not mad about Lula (yes does sound like a fanjo)but think the others are lovely.
Really feminine and charming.
I know a little girl called Pearl.
She was named after her gran.

I like Iris, not keen on the rest I'm afraid

Sorry, not keen on any of them.

Those names remind me of old ladies!!!

my grandmother's middle name was Violet (also Corrie barmaid's name), her SIL was Iris, i like them both
Lula sounds odd, like the end is missing eg Lulabelle
Pearl, not keen but can see it would work.

lol at a bridge outing.
Lula def no.
Iris possible.
Violet nonono, sorry but too close to violent. (My cousin just called her baby that and I swear everyone calls the poor kid Violent (For A Joke, which I fear may wear thin soonest).

Was planning to call next dd Violet - after reading HC's post perhaps not then!

That is, if i have another dd...

I like Iris but REALLY don't like Lula (sounds like a joke name) and REALLY REALLY don't like Pearl, it reminds me of that sour faced old woman in Last of the Summer Wine.

Not keen on any

Lula a bit bonkers
Iris is ok but a bit blue stocking
Violet - I know a Violet and she doesn't endear me to the name
Pearl - not for me, but is at least genuinely unusual these days

If you like old fashioned flower /gem names what about Hazel, Lily or Ruby?
