Pearl

Pearl is the most stylish of the gem names, back after a long sleep, as simple and lustrous as the jewel it’s derived from. Vermeer’s famous painting Girl with the Pearl Earring, subject of a bestselling novel and movie, may have helped propel the name back into stylishness. Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson named their little girl Pearl Bailey.

Lenora

Leonora is one of several similar names fashionable in Europe and slowly making its way to stylishness in the US.
