My relative's name is Beryl. She pronounces it like Pearl with a B. I think it's a stone. I like that it's unique. But it might be too close to barrel for me, idk.

That's a pretty common name in Britain. It's a green gem.

Beryl was a pretty common name way back at the beginning of the 20th century. It's pronounced barrel. A lot of the old names are coming back now. It is a gem. I like it.

It's quite a common name in England but among the over 60s! I actually have a student called Beryl who is a muslim girl. I don't know if that's relevant but I wondered if it was having a rebirth in some places, she's 17

Well, it's a precious stone, so it's like naming your kid Ruby, Pearl, or Sapphire.

I have to say, I think it's one of the ugliest names going.
