Middle name for Stormi?

Wins the thread.

@Alondra , the name of the child says a lot about the parents. It won't just be the parents of friends thinking the name is awful.

I'm sorry that people don't like your name choice OP.
Storm would bring different reactions I think.
I think of Storm Jameson , which was a family name in her family and I have known a couple of Storm girl children in my life.
I didn't know about the Kardashian connection to Stormi but clearly many do.I did, immediately think of Stormy Daniels which would be a hard connection for your daughter to carry imo.
You certainly don't have to pick Ava or Olivia if you would like something more unusual but in general children don't want to keep having to explain their names or spell them out over and over again.I know that you like the symmetry of Storm'i' but for your child's sake I would at least go for Storm'y' if you are dead set on the name.
As above pick a middle name that she will be use as her first choice if she wishes; in the way that Zowie Bowie is known as Duncan Jones.

Calling her that will be a handicap. It’s possibly on your radar due to porn star Stormy Daniels ( not her real name), possibly the Kardashians, it will tie her to a particular era and will carry an aura of low brow reality TV shows.
There have been plenty of studies into kids’ names and educational achievement, those with the most “ out there “ names consistently achieve less. Not fair maybe, but is that what you want for your daughter?

Some people are too blunt and rude and of course it’s not nice to read but does the reaction to the name Stormi not give you pause for thought, at all?

Knowing how many people think it’s trashy and chavvy, a made up pornstar name and just generally awful, doesn’t that put you off at all, knowing your daughter will be subjected to those views her whole life? People will make immediate judgements about the kind of person she is and her background, which will disadvantage her. That’s a fact. You can say all you like that you don’t care about the opinions of people like that which is fine for you but you’re not the one who will be affected by them, your daughter will. Every time her CV is sifted, every time she introduces herself, every time her name appears ANYWHERE!

OF COURSE family and friends tell you it’s lovely, they love you and are being nice. The odds are that a lot of them think it’s awful. People on here can be honest in a way your family can’t.

Your child will go out into the world at an immediate disadvantage, I just don’t understand why any parent would choose that for their child ☹️

I had a mad moment when I was pregnant and was considering naming my DS after a book character, I was swiftly snapped back to reality and literally asked myself wtf was I thinking!?
You really do need to consider the child’s future and how the name would suit them as an adult, we chose an uncommon name for him in the end (it’s celtic) but it’s not odd but we’ve only met 3 others with the same name as him.
My eldest has a named that can be shortened in several different ways, we loved that it’s name that she can change to suit her and again it’s a classic name that reflects our mixed heritage.

OP, don't confuse 'awful' and 'honest. You asked for opinions. You got opinions.

I think you are pushing it if you tell people you didn't know it was related to the Kardashians OP - it's literally the only thing that comes up in a Google search of the name.

People are being rude, but the thing is OP, this is a realistic response to a name like Stormi that people across society will be thinking, even if they don't tell you. They will make assumptions and judge you and your daughter. Something to consider for if you really want that for her.

Would you change your name to Stormi? If not, then you really shouldn't name your child that.

Cloud ... or Klawd

OP I really think this is something to consider.

Storm would probably be more accepted but lots of people would, rightly or wrongly, subconsciously judge the name before they even reviewed a job application, for example.

*later, not alter

Better to get the comments out now, and have the parents re-think, than give the poor little soul that name and have her get them all alter.

Of course - it it's from the Kardashians (not that I would know) there's a chance there'll be six "Stormi's" in her class a lone in school, and quite a few either side of her, too, so maybe she'll just blend into the background.

I agree with a pp who said to avoid a name which is also a noun as it will make Stormi into more of an adjective.
So pick a middle name which is a name but nothing else.
What else was on your list when you picked Stormi? An idea of your tastes overall would help in the search.
Congratulations on your imminent arrival!

Please don’t call your child Stormi. It’s awful. People will judge you through her entire life, and rightly so.

Would you change your own name to that? If no then don’t inflict it on a kid. If yes then do it and call your kid something else.

If my child came home with a friend called Stormi I would not be encouraging the friendship to be honest. I couldn't call a child by that name, so wouldn't address them by name at all. Same as an adult by the way, I wouldn't address them by such a ridiculous name.

If my child was rejected by an adult because of their name, I would be the one stopping all contact. Talk about prejudice against a child and their parents because of a name. Good grief.

I kind of... I get you;re feeling judged and it's unpleasant but your ego should not be more important than your child's future, at this stage you seem to be doing the "I'm ringt you're wrong and nananananan I can't hear you now!" with your fingers in your ears sort of thing. People just pointed out why the name is just not that great. I just kind of feel sorry for your little girl, but she can always change it by deed poll when she grows up and will not be too affected by years of bullying.

Sorry, shouldn't laugh.

I don't get this?

How is Stormi - the description of weather a name, let alone a lovely name?

@astyr why not Wednesday as per yesterdays thread?

Failing that a tree, a planet, a country/city or you could push the boat out & use an actual Name.

if you want something 'out there' change you own name, don't inflict it on your child!

For those mocking, is Stormy/Stormi really that different to Gail? My friend was named Gail because she was born on a stormy night!

I'm absolutely obsessed with PP's suggestion of Autumn Storm and also suggest adding Summer Storm into the mix. Doesn't even have to be a first/middle name - it could be a double first name like they do in the Southern US states!

Lightening would be lovely I think. Can be shortened to Lighty too 😊

Exactly this. OP jump ahead 20 years and your DD is trying to get her first proper job. It may not be right but people make snap judgements about CV’s and if two come in, one with name Stormi and one with Jane I can take a guess which one will be read fully and progressed

Your friends and family may be nice about it but wider society will have the same reaction as this thread. Rightly or wrongly. Do you really want your DD having a life where she is having to prove herself because people have an instant opinion of her?

You may like a name but this is your DDs life you are impacting

Rose is every second girl's middle name. I'd choose a classic name like Rosalind as Stormi is so bad. Sorry OP.
