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 ADORE Pearl too!
You said you were planning to name her pearl, but as a middle name. Are you planning to call her Pearl no matter what the first name is?
