I think you're forgetting they are all named after their gems, so Jasper calling pearl by "name" isn't that strange.

However, I think all of the other parts of your theory is correct somewhat.

Natural pearls are not perfect spheres, and a lot are not white. As soon as Jasper saw Pearl she knew that something wasn't right about Pearl, which means whatever is wrong with Pearl is appearance wise, which could tie into her not being able to shapeshift.

I think the reason Pearl is so fond of Rose, is because even though there is something wrong with her, Pearl still accepted her.

Which ties into all of the crystal gems. Amethyst was a manufactured gem considered a mistake by others. Pearl, as stated, has SOMETHING wrong with her. and Garnett, in her song, states that other gems (At least Jasper) consider her gross as well because she's a perfect fusion and stays that way, which gems other than the crystal gems consider wrong.
