[Opinions] Re: Pearl...for a boy?!
in reply to a message by number1212
Sound-wise, yes, but I don't think of it as particularly masculine. There's nothing inherently feminine about gem names, but pearls themselves have a more feminine vibe to me. I have heard of one male Pearl, though. A man I encountered in an obituary, named Emerald (which I LOVE), apparently had a brother named Pearl. They were born in the early 1900s, which is about when I'd expect those names to have popped up.
