I find it extremely difficult to like. All I hear is Barrel, and that's before I factor in that I think B names come across as homely more often than not.
I don't think the Y looks 2000s like
Madisyn; it looks 1950s like
Cheryl and
Caryl. So depends what you mean by "modern".
If I was looking for gem/rock/mineral names in English that are rarer than
Pearl, I'd prefer...
Topaz,
Celestine,
Amethyst,
Garnet,
Emerald, and probably even Peridot, Lazuli, Aquamarine, Onyx, Olivine, Charoite, Nepheline.
