Middle name for Stormi?

Having a hard time choosing. I like Autumn and DH likes Rose. But not keen on either as it sounds like a description rather than a name. Open to any and all suggestions

Op what about Gail (as in high winds) as an alternative to Stormi but it sounds more like a name.

It's a coach company round our way.

'Go the Waverley Way' 👀

It's a no from me.

Just seen you've found an alternative. Best of luck to you, Op.

I always roll my eyes when someone declares 'that's a porn star name' but, in this case, they are quite literally correct. Do you really want your kid connected with Stormy Daniel's??

lifeinthehills · 06/12/2022 21:03

I'm glad you've found a name you love. Who cares what your family think? It's not their baby.

Only updating because I find it a little humorous. But we've found another name that just stuck although I can't remember if it was suggested on this thread or another. However, when I told my family the new name they absolutely hate it and want to call her by her middle name which I am absolutely not okay with. New name is a lot more "normal" than stormi. Just think it's a little funny that all the people on this post thought my family was being nice. They are definitely a "say what you mean" type of people. But regardless. I found a name I love and that is all that matters. Whether it would've stayed stormi or not

I’m not sure I believe that the OP didn’t realise Kylie Kardashian’s kid was called a Stormi…

I can't believe you don't know that's not her name, she is not a Kardashian

marblemad · 06/12/2022 00:56

Why Stormi? The kardashians get away with it because of wealth but it looks 'chavvy' without the wealth

It's not really a debate but more a hopeful wake up call.

This. I'm seriously begging you not to call your child Stormi. Give your child a normal name, one she wont get bullied with. Please.

Stormi Cloudi Meatballi

Penelope is somewhat downgraded by the Kardashian association but there is legend behind it.

Similarly, the day Robbie Williams named his daughter Theodora, was an awful day. She is likely to be heavily promoted in the near future, hopefully not gurning with a vast ego to match.

SleepingStandingUp · 03/12/2022 19:58

Am I the only one who thought Stormzy then Storm off Down on The Farm, not a Kardashian? I mean if we can't do Jenner or Kardashian names, I guess Penelope is out too!

ThereAreNamesAndThereAreNamez · 03/12/2022 19:42

Strong associations, not string!!

Do those names come with a Met Office weather warning?

Show quote history

For seafaring nations, throughout history fair weather and the fortune of breeze to the sails was a matter of life or death to the crew. This is a dramatic version of that I suppose.

@OP I prefer established nature names, however this isn’t it, and Stormi is way too connected to the Kardashians, worse still, many people’s brains will jump to the soundclip of her affronted mother saying “Stormiiiii, you look like Mommiiii babiiii ”. She unintentionally sounds like Miss Piggy. Google it. You won’t be able to get out of your mind for days.

Instead, what about Tempest if you like the string connotations of a storm.

Or what about Alizé or Alizée which means trade wind/tropical wind with reference to seas, sailing, and positive nautical connotations. A well established French name, it has many namesakes, including James Middleton’s wife.

@DogInATent God I didn't even think of that! Good catch I suppose.

Why not just go for Storm? It's out there but works better as a name imo.

Storm Rose
Storm Julia
Storm Viola

Etc
