Assuming that the question is about individual peal names...

There are two named mabes somewhere on this forum: huge, perfect, cultured abalone mabes. For those, naming was obviously motivated by size and quality.

Not sure I can remember of any natural blister pearl with a name, but some of the natural pearls with names were attached to the shell and have the marks to prove that.

Whatever shape the pearl is, as long as the size and quality makes it very desirable and close to irreplaceable... 'can't imagine any reason not to name it...

What does the pearl look like?
