History & Origin

Pebbles comes straight from the English word for small, water-smoothed stones, used as an endearing name. Its life as a given name is tied to popular culture rather than tradition — most famously to Pebbles Flintstone, the cartoon infant.

A second wave of visibility came from the singer known as Pebbles — Perri 'Pebbles' Reid — in the late nineteen-eighties. The name has always been rare and playful, worn as a cheerful word-name rather than a classic.

Did you know? Pebbles has two honest pop-culture anchors: Pebbles Flintstone, the cartoon baby of the nineteen-sixties, and Pebbles, the R&B singer Perri Reid, whose hits landed in the late nineteen-eighties.
