Pearl

Grunge band's frontword

Pearl is a feminine given name, once popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and now enjoying modest revival.

Pearl Harbor, the Hawaiian naval base attacked by Japan in 1941, brought the U.S. into World War II: a date which will live in infamy. (Lowercase pearl is the gem.)
