Bring "old fashioned" names back to life

I love hearing "old fashion" names make their way back through the present day. My nana's name was Anna Pearl and I just LOVE Pearl. It makes me think of a beautiful girl with flawless, porcelain skin, dark hair, and big bright eyes; or maybe a "Flapper" from the wild and romantic 1920's era. I've decided to name our little girl Pearl, but have chosen Pearl as the middle name. Some of the few we've discussed have been:

Gemma Pearl
Helena Pearl
Maya Pearl (she's due in May)
Lila Pearl
Liah Pearl
Nina Pearl

Nothing has really "grabbed" us yet... Any suggestions???

I think Scarlett Pearl would be beautiful. Naomi Pearl, Talia Pearl, Harriet Pearl, Tabitha Pearl, and Lorna Pearl all sound nice to me.

I liked the "L" names with Pearl. I'm not sure how you pronounce Lila... is it like Lily just with an "a" on the end? That's pretty.... but I like (sorry if this is misspelled) Lillah... with the "i" pronouned with a long I, instead of short in "lily". Pearl is beautiful though!

Thank you for your response! Yes, I assume Lila is pronounced with a long I like Lilac. I like the short easy spelling ;)
