I love this name for a girl. DP is coming round to it as well. DM loves it.
But I'm constantly getting bad reactions from friends - enough to have slightly put me off every time.

I appreciate that it's a bit out there but I just think it's gorgeous.

Anyone else out there agreeing with me? Or should I stay put off?

So much nicer than yet another Evie Eva or Mia

Errr no.

I don't like surname names on girls.

Yes, I know the surname is usually spelled Storey, but they sound the same. I'd assume boy, probably from one of the areas where naming eldest son with mother's maiden name is still common enough practice

Please don’t.

Never ending

God, that’s absolutely awful.

Ha! No.

No

Awful

Horrid

Poor girl just imagine when she hits that blossoming age and starts getting the icky hassling from random guys asking her number in order to date them or just pervs.

"Hi I couldn't help but notice you...What's your name?"

-Story

"Really? So what's yours' then?"
or
"I've always fancied a good story"
or worse:
"Love to go to bed with a good story"

Really just no.

It's not a name.

It's not quirky, different, unique. It's just not a name.

I LOVE the name Story!!! For either a boy or a girl. It’s one of my favourites 😁 I know one of each

@usernamo I’m sending you a PM!

Chronicle is more stylish

Seriously, though, came on to suggest Saga as an alternative.
(Saga lead character, Scandi crime drama The Bridge?)

Saga, Norse goddess of poetry/history.

But seems she's connected to Goddess named Frigg, so probably best avoid if you're UK-based...
(plus there are inevitable Saga holidays associations).

It is absolutely not a name. It would be awful.

Story book, short story, tall story, long story, old story!

Just no. Stay put off it.

You could say the same about the name Mark.

“Ugh what’s what mark on your shirt?” “How many marks did you get?” “I’m going to mark your papers tonight” “that’s going to leave a mark”.....

I know a 30 year old Story so it’s not a new name.

There's a reason you're getting bad reactions, it's bloody awful.

It's great that you like it op, but the child has to come first. The chances of teasing / bullying are just too high. Give the child a chance.

I don’t think it’s fair to saddle a child with a random word as a name. It’s the child who will have to live with it, not you.

She will suffer if she ever goes to Dublin.
Story? Being a standard greeting often said in an exaggerated townie accent for effect. She'll be roundly mocked.

Is it a name? I've never heard it as a name before.

"You could say the same about the name Mark."

No you couldn't. Mark (unlike story) is a widely accepted name that just so happens to also be a word. It's a very common name. I dated a mark once and honestly your 'mark on a shirt thing' never crossed my mind, not once.

This is a bit like when a poster wanted to name their kid icarus and she tried to defend her decision by saying 'well people name children jack and there's Jack the Ripper!'

I think it’s cool. Better than Amelia, Olivia, Ava etc...
