Storm!

I've recently come across two children called Storm.

Now i was having a laugh about this to my mum; 'Can you believe there are two girls called Storm around, laugh, laugh, what were they thinking, etc, etc' and her reply was 'GIRLS???'

Now to me, Storm sounds a girly name (though i know prehaps not strictly a name!!) but she thinks it's more for a boy.

What do you all think? Girl or boy?

It isn;t a real name is it? So surely it is unisex. Not for me.

RachieB · 11/11/2008 21:29

i know of a female Storm

Bonnycat · 11/11/2008 16:31

Girl, i love it but wouldnt be brave enough to use it.
I used to know one spelt with an e on the end...

I think girl, but then I also think she'd have to end up being a supermodel or actress (or porn star perhaps?) to carry off a name like that. She couldn't very well end up a checkout girl in Asda could she???

Girl

dweezle · 11/11/2008 08:47

Storm - what if she has thin mousy hair, a slight moustache, and works in a library.

HeadFairy · 10/11/2008 18:43

Well you couldn't be anything other than dreamy if you were called Leaf could you?

seeker · 10/11/2008 18:35

Lots of Leifs in Scandanavia!

Shoshe · 10/11/2008 18:21

If DD had been a boy he would have been Storm.

fuzzywuzzy · 10/11/2008 18:19

blimey no, Leaf worked in a bar I did accounts for, he was kind of dreamy with long blonde hair and very sweet....albeit an utterly crap bar person.

HeadFairy · 10/11/2008 18:15

Isn't that Joachim Phoenix's real name fuzzywuzzy? Are you a friend to slebs?

fuzzywuzzy · 10/11/2008 18:09

Girl I've met several of them too. Also know a Leaf who's a guy.

Liffey · 10/11/2008 18:07

A girl. Definitely.

I thought Amaya was a form of 'loved'.

Spidermama · 10/11/2008 17:57

I know girls called Storm. I have a friend who called her dd Amaya because it means storm and she was born in a storm. I think it's a lovely name but I'd go with Amaya rather than Storm.

My brother's stepson was called Storm. He hated it. The summer before he went to secondary school, he asked if he could change it, so we had a family party at which he changed his name to Thomas. He has been much happier ever since!

CuppaTeaJanice · 10/11/2008 17:51

It's the name of a model agency.

And a watch brand.

misdee · 10/11/2008 17:49

catweazle · 10/11/2008 17:47

It's my DD's middle name... but feel free to take the piss..

FWIW DH and the PIL wanted it to be her first name.

HeadFairy · 10/11/2008 17:44

annasmami · 10/11/2008 17:42

rolledhedgehog · 10/11/2008 17:26

Dog or horse - male or female.

louisejohnson87 · 10/11/2008 17:01

If you think this is a "bad" name, I know a set of brothers called

Axel and Dragon!!!!!

Now come on, they are BAD names!!!

dinkymum · 10/11/2008 16:56

I would say girl, my dad wanted to call me Storm when I was born, as I was born during a freak snow storm, and with my surname I would've sounded like a natural disaster, pleased to say my mum vitoed it! He tried Gail too.. lol not sure what happened to snowy! lol

LurkerOfTheUniverse · 10/11/2008 16:53
