Have you considered Tempest? It still means storm but sounds a bit more like a name to my ears.

JenniferJareau · 06/05/2019 07:39

My immediate thought is X Men fan.

I went to school with a girl called Storm in the 90s. She was lovely.

donquixotedelamancha · 06/05/2019 07:45

when I hear her name I wonder what her parents planned for her.

A career fighting Magneto, obvs.

@OP, have you considered Psylocke?

AwkwardSquad · 06/05/2019 07:48

Nay. Tim Minchin.

Barbarafromblackpool · 06/05/2019 07:49

Nay

Storm is a hideous name for a girl. The very nature of it makes it dark/angry/generally unlikeable.

Tempest is the name of the school photographers here so I wouldn't use that.

Storm is quite a popular working dog name here too.

I suppose it depends where you live, but storm will always mean something horrible.

What about Misty?

Whoops75 · 06/05/2019 07:57

Nay

I know an adult called Storme. Have never thought about it.

I know nothing about the Kardashians so wouldn't make any connection.

I like it. Don't know the Kardashians or the Tim Minchin thing, I think of Storm Constantine (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Constantine).

Villanellesproudmum · 06/05/2019 08:08

Can you imagine shouting it across the room at a party full of Amelia’s, Matilda’s and Millie’s etc you need to feel comfortable with the name. Wouldn’t be my choice but others opinions really don’t matter.

Villanellesproudmum · 06/05/2019 08:09

I like Constance, Connie.

Notwiththeseknees · 06/05/2019 08:11

Beautiful name. I know a Storm - he's a man in his 80's and bizarrely a meteorologist....

bellinisurge · 06/05/2019 08:21

Stormy Daniels would be what I would think every time but would be too polite to say it.

My Dad actually had a name that was an obscure celeb copy- and obscure celeb from the 1920s when he was born. Always shortened it. His big brother had one from the 1900's when my grandparents met. Hated it so much he legally changed it. Younger brother got off lightly.

megrichardson · 06/05/2019 08:24

Yes, I came on here to say Kardashian and Trump connections.

Clankboing · 06/05/2019 08:24

It is a lovely name in theory. But she might be a quiet, shy child who may hate the name.

RoseAndRose · 06/05/2019 08:25

I think of it as a male name - like Stormsy

BlueMerchant · 06/05/2019 08:27

No

Howtotrainyourhamster · 06/05/2019 08:28

I agree about the personality thing - what if she turned out to be shy/ retiring/ anxious?
Don’t think it has a nice sound, either.

Flamingosnbears · 06/05/2019 08:29

Storm I agree you think of anger first how about Winter or Sunny?

SofiaAmes · 06/05/2019 08:30

My dd has a friend named Storm and she's lovely and her name's lovely and no one thinks it's weird.

Fairylea · 06/05/2019 08:31

I think it’s awful, sorry. But then I like traditional names.

NeverSayFreelance · 06/05/2019 08:33

I love the name Storm! One of my favourites actually.
