About to welcome third baby girl who will be a sister to Stella and Juno.

We've narrowed it down two but DP likes both and says it's my choice (Since I'm doing all the work 😂)

Stella, Juno and Pearl
Stella, Juno and Zelda

I also like both pretty much equally. Help!

I really like Pearl, as each child will have their own name ending sound.

DaysIllRememberAllMyLife · 03/07/2026 18:44

I prefer Pearl and it fits in better with your other names imo. Zelda is a bit more out there.

VIII · 03/07/2026 18:46

I would go for Pearl. It's a lovely underused name and it avoids the fact Zelda and Stella could become a bit of a mouthful as they are quite similar.

BigBrownBoogyingBear · 03/07/2026 18:47

I strongly associate Zelda with the the games - Legend of Zelda etc.

Pearl is lovely.

Watchoutfortheslowaraf · 03/07/2026 18:47

Agree with above. Stella and Zelda are a bit too samey. Pearl is lovely

Pieceofpurplesky · 03/07/2026 18:49

Pearl. Zena is nicer than Zelda

Justwonderingum · 03/07/2026 18:50

It depends where you live. I think Pearl could be pronounced more like Pell in parts of South east

daughterfromhell · 03/07/2026 18:51

Defintely Pearl. I’m a legends of Zelda fan but don’t think that’s great for a child!

LightningTree · 03/07/2026 18:53

Pearl gets my vote.

overwork · 03/07/2026 18:54

Pearl is beautiful and particularly with your other names!

Tiredofitallagain · 03/07/2026 18:54

Pearl

Userxyd · 03/07/2026 18:55

Pearl is lovely and goes best

scotsmumofteens · 03/07/2026 18:55

Another Pearl here xxx

Arlanymor · 03/07/2026 18:58

Zelda - but I had a great aunt called Elvira.

Hatty65 · 03/07/2026 18:58

Prefer Pearl.

I associate Zelda with F Scott Fitzgerald's wife and she had serious mental health issues and a sad life.

NamingNoNames · 03/07/2026 19:02

Zelda

ExplodingSmittens · 03/07/2026 19:05

I like Pearl but if you’re big into gaming then Zelda is good too. Reminds me of Zelda Williams.

NamingNoNames · 03/07/2026 19:09

I don't like Pearl. The meaning is nice but I don't like the sound.

It sounds like Peril in some accents.

UnPetitDunPetit · 03/07/2026 19:12

Depends where you live. Pearl sounds pretty in some accents but absolutely awful in others!

24Dogcuddler · 03/07/2026 19:29

Pearl is beautiful.

ExplodingSmittens · 03/07/2026 19:32

And if you like Pearl, can I suggest Opal?

Flyingdolphins · 03/07/2026 19:32

Thanks everyone, pretty unanimous, and probably what I was leaning towards anyway.

I think I'd have gone Zelda if we didn't already have the other two....we'll have to get a pet!

Terracottateapot · 03/07/2026 19:35

Sorry OP. I really don’t like Pearl (though I’m not sure why). So I’d have to go for Zelda though I’m not mad about that either.
Margot?
Zita?

Foodylicious · 03/07/2026 19:35

Yes. Get some fish.
Name them Zelda, Bob and Frida.

Pearl is lovely btw. And goes well with Stella and Juno.

Hadit16 · 03/07/2026 19:36

Pearl. I know a lovely Pearl
