Storm

(I’m not trolling!)

Ever since Kylie Jenner chose this for her daughter over a year ago I’ve been in love with the name Stormi / Stormie / Stormy / Storm!

I couldn’t use it as a first name could I? I love it but it’s probably silly and people will think I’m a die hard kardashian fan!

So as a last resort, as this is definitely my last baby, could I use one of the storms as a middle name?
Or should I just use it as a first name?
Please don’t be too harsh!

Floss

That’s a great idea @MimiSunshine

I love the name!

ugh I love Stormie as a first name, this is so hard. I don’t want to give her a silly name! I’ll sleep on it xx

Always been one of my favourite names.

Storm yes, Stormy maybe, Stormi/Stormie absolutely not!

Not very British. Have you thought about Drizzle?

You just know they’re going to end up being a right drip

I love it. It was always on my list, though the name I'd choose if I had another girl would be Rain and so Storm wouldn't be a good middle . I think it's lovely in its own right, it's definitely not as "out there" as other name ideas on here. It's a strong name, literally a force of nature.

Also, Nikki Sixx has an adult daughter called Storm. Mick Mars has an adult daughter called Stormy. It's nothing new or daft.

Don't inflict that on a child, fgs.

I know 2 storms
One is very middle class (her sisters have odd names too-but she’s very bad tempered all the time (has been since I met her as a toddler)
The other when to school with my daughter-she was my daughters bully-she is now in prison for murder and drug dealing-she’ll be an old lady when she gets out
Your baby your choice but I’d think twice to be fair

Storm is fine in a “I’m dead quirky, me” kind of way. Same as Bear, Fox etc, it’s a bit try hard but not unheard of.

Stormie/Stormy/Stormi is dreadful.

Also, Nikki Sixx has an adult daughter called Storm. Mick Mars has an adult daughter called Stormy. It's nothing new or daft.

It may not be new, but it's definitely daft!

It is gruesome in the extreme. May as well call her Cardboard Box.
I love that you don’t want to give her a silly name, yet are considering this 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why would you call a child Rain?? That’s utterly bizarre.

Each to their own 🤷🏻‍♀️

I taught a Storm who will be about fifteen now, it’s a great name, really suited her! Nobody batted an eyelid, as normal as Katie/Ava/Sophie etc. And easy to learn to spell!

I love it!

Terrible terrible terrible
Penelope is lovely

Storm is better than Penelope

Corentine & Audra mean storm so stormie would be a cute unusual nickname for a name like that

Thora = Goddess of thunder and storm

I think it’s cool! I’d recommend you head over to another naming board for opinions on more modern or quirky names. Mumsnetters seem to only like quite dull names on the whole - Constance, Sarah, Hannah, Victoria etc - and names like this always get the same reaction. I don’t think it’s respresentative of the real world, where in my opinion more cool modern names would go down much better than something tedious like Jane.

Storm off the Jeremy Vine show is great. When I first saw her and heard her name I thought 'mmm not sure', now she is just Storm, suits it, and it's her. So go for it if you like, but Storm not Stormie or Stormzy or anything. I quite like nature names like Rain, River, Winter, Wren etc but would need to be the proper spelling of the word, not made up.

I really hate it, sorry 🙈 it just sounds so tacky to me. She'll have to beat the burden of a name that raises eyebrows for the rest of her life.
