Hello everyone! I’m off to college and want to start going by a version of my middle name. Which do you like better and why? Thank you!
[name_f]Pearle[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearle[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearla[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearle[/name_f] is pronounce Pearleh
I love [name_f]Pearla[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]! I think it’s the simplest to pronounce so as to cause less confusion, and that the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] in the middle helps it to feel timeless while [name_f]Pearla[/name_f] feels current and upbeat.
You really like asking the same questions over and over don’t you?
Listen I’m gonna help you out here, drop the E at the end and just go with [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. Seriously, the extra E is unnecessary and makes things look messy. I see you’re trying to go by the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation, but if you’re in [name_u]America[/name_u] (which I assume you are, if not feel free to correct me) mostly everyone is going to automatically want to pronounce [name_f]Pearle[/name_f] as “[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]” anyway. You’re going to have to continuously correct people on the pronunciation. You also have to remember that a lot of people are lazy with names, they want to say the least amount of syllables as possible. I guarantee you- people will just call you [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] by itself is stunning, timeless and classic. Drop the hyphen. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (or [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], can’t go wrong with either) is beautiful and much, much cleaner looking.
Same thing with [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], drop the hyphen.
I slightly prefer [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] over [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
It is up to you to choose. There are only so many opinions people on this site can give you before it starts to become repetitive.
I would go for [name_f]Pearla[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Pearla[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] if you want a two syllable version of [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
But I think you’ll like get [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] most of the time anyway. Maybe [name_f]Pearla[/name_f] (or P etc).
[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t over think it or you’ll miss one of the few times when changing your name as an adult is feasible.
[name_f]Pearla[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds best to me
Thank you so much everyone for all the advice. It really means a lot to me. I’m very sorry is I annoyed anyone with my questions and will make sure this is the last time. Thank you!
