Middle name for Stormi?

The thing is OP, you will be doing your baby no favours by giving her a misspelt noun as a first name.

She will still experience people making negative assumptions about her, because names carry associations with them. Many people won’t even be aware they are doing it. It’s just how the world is.

In the end you are naming a person, not a baby, and everyone deserves a name that will support them throughout life.

I can see the appeal of Storm, so I would just think of another way to spin it, so Stormi just becomes a nn.

That could be something like something like (for example) Sienna Storm. It can also work as Storm Sienna but she might like this less as it sounds a bit like a description of a hurricane, in the same way that Stormy Sienna sounds like a rainy day or a stroppy child. Autumn storm works less well as it’s such a description - but it’s OK.

The only person I've known called that (though Stormy) had a middle name of an object as it were.. think car, or ship. It worked surprisingly well. (But they were a very handsome adult man)

Don't use Stormi, I say that not because I think it sounds chavy or anything like that but because it sounds like an adjective (I know it's not because it's not a real word) - one with negative connotations when applied to people. Do you really want your child to be labelled difficult/angry/temperamental/argumentative from birth?

And it's ripe for bullying because of that.

I agree.

There is a huge amount of snobbery in this post. I wouldn’t call my child Stormi but I also wouldn’t call one Lancelot or Petunia. Please don’t call out names you associated with families who are ‘thick’. It’s just nasty and unnecessary. Surely it would be better to be smug in your own choices and keep quiet if you don’t like others. This is an adult posting not a child and she wasn’t asking for advice on the Stormi part.
I think of the suggestions so far Stormy Rae, Stormy Mae, Stormy Grace are good options. Also maybe Beth, or Bette, Maeve, Pearl, Wren, Fleur, Hope

Also as you can see above, autocorrect will be a bitch with Stormi to Stormy forever, not to mention the baby will have to be saying ‘Stormi with an I’ for their entire life.

The problem is that while adult women do this on a website out of earshot of a child, any child called Stormi will be subject to a lifetime of witticisms (sic)

No. Picking a name such as Stormi definitely says something about the parents. And it's really nothing flattering.

There is something very wrong with you if you pick a pornstar/stripper name for your daughter. End of.

What about a normal name like Pauline or Sharon?

I wouldn’t name my child something that has negative connotations myself. And I think people will take the piss or make what will become very tedious jokes - baby crying? “ohhh stormy is living up to their name heheheh”, and so on. That would get old very fast.

It might sound ‘woo’ but I believe names have power and calling a child Stormi really is asking for them to have a turbulent life or be compared to a storm for their entire life - destructive and angry.

I wouldn’t do it for that reason and i’m genuinely not trying to get at you by saying that.

I have an extremely weird middle name which embarrasses me a lot. It doesn’t often come up as it is my middle name but occasionally it does.
On my wedding day, the room fell silent and then I heard a few suppressed snorts of laughter.
Also passport checking. They usually raise an eyebrow at me. Any other times I have to provide ID.

This has been all my life and I am in my fifties. People don’t say it to your face but it follows you constantly.

Stormy is way nicer than Misty, in my opinion.

If you are being serious OP its weird you would want to name your child something with a negative connotation like Stormi, it also looks bad on paper with the 'i' at the end, and as this thread shows doesn't really have a good middle name without making you sounding like the kind of person who sells vagina scented candles.

A name of a child is just that, a name that may be in fashion for a time, like Kylie, Kimberly or Cheryl a decade ago.

It doesn't say anything about the parents or their child. The prejudice fall on you, not on parents, and certainly never on a child.

Please for the love of god pick an actual name for the middle if you're going for Stormy as a first name🤦🏼‍♀️

If not I've seen Sea and weather suggested on here which fit good with the theme😅

I'm afraid I agree that Stormi will be having eyes rolled for her whole life. I think Storm would be better than Stormi just because it's slightly less slebby.
But middle names that work would be:
Stormi Catherine
Stormi Eleanor
Stormi Natalia
Stormi Felicity
Stormi Louisa

I was thinking more Storm Porch - very retro

Apologies for random italics!

Nah Misty is a dog or cat's 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.

His name actually is Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones, it's more that he was known as 'Zowie Bowie' for a while. And then as a teen he called himself Joey or Joe.

Mumsnetters are just vile on baby names threads OP it’s a lovely name. No one in real life will think anything of it.

If you wanted a weather/nature theme then Stormi River is nice.

I heard a stormi being called in a shop the other day, I was a bit surprised! Must have been about 2, op definitely lying about not knowing it was associated with the Kardashian’s

I judge names. I try really hard not to, but time and time again certain traits are borne out by particular types of names.

Like it or not, names are tied to our class system. It's not right, it's not fair, but it's how it is.

I'm not advocating for all children to be called Kate and Charlotte at all, but there's a middle ground of names that work across all classes to a degree and don't harm the child's chances as it grows up by being pigeonholed as 'naughty' or "chavvy".

Stormi ( please go for Stormy if you must) is the sort of name someone changes their name TO because they need a stage name. Let that be the kids choice when they're older. I'd give it as a middle name and go with something less contentious as a first.

And yes, your family are being kind. I have a friend with a ridiculously 'over named' child ( in her case she went too many rings UP the class ladder) and we still eye roll about it to this day.^
