I have heard of a girl named Pebble from one of my mom's coworkers who went to Australia for a work exchange and met the family there (we're in Canada and she is a teacher). Anyway, Pebble's parents chose it because of the idea that when you drop a pebble into like a pond it causes the ripple effect, which could represent how one person can affect so many different people in their time spent alive. I thought it was interesting.

Anyway, I'm not sure how I like the sound of Pebble/Pebbles for a name, it just sounds like a name for a pet like Snickers or something. Are you sure she's set on it?

I would suggest another name like Penelope or Petra (meaning is stone, so that is similar?) where they could call her Pebbles as a nickname, at least by family and when she is a kid. That way she could grow up with a normal name and still use Pebbles by close friends.

Actually, now I'm kind of liking the idea of Petra / Petrova / Petrina / Pierrette or any feminine Peter variant because of the meaning of stone. It would kind of match if a Petra went by Pebbles for a nickname. Do you think your sister would consider this?

Also found Peninnah while doing a search, meaning "precious stone" or "pearl." Pearl / Perla could work too?

I'm also not one for P- names but it sounds like a better option to me. Hahah please tell us what she thinks or decides on!
