Having a hard time choosing. I like Autumn and DH likes Rose. But not keen on either as it sounds like a description rather than a name. Open to any and all suggestions

Do that many people really know Ronan Keating's wife's name? Grin

Off topic but her real name is actually Sharon 🤣
Came out last year and slightly undermined the uber cool/beach/barefoot hippy background vibes she works so hard to give off…

(Yes, I’m that much of a loser that I remember random trivia about Ronan Keating’s wife 😊)

girlmom21 · 02/12/2022 14:44

Hahaaa that's brilliant @TiddleyWink! Thank you!

Storm is a much safer choice of name and unlike what pp have said, I would associate the name with X-men. (Halle Berry played the character ) Marvel is reviving X-men in the near future so I think her contemporaries will associate her with that character rather than Ronan Keating's wife. (My teenagers haven't got a clue who RK is)

According to Wikipedia her name is Sharyn Storm. Of course, she might have edited the entry herself, but it does seem on the basis of that that Storm is legitimately one of her forenames from birth.

Fair enough. I do enjoy that it’s preceded by Sharyn though 😁

actually really like the sound of Waverley but it’s on all the bins round here (Waverley council) so it’s a no from me 😄

Some names are geographically inappropriate. 😅

@SirSamVimesCityWatch if they're the kind of blokes to make porn jokes to a new woman who's just joined the team then I think we can assume they'd be prats regardless. I don't think we should tKe into consodera

consideration the poor behaviour of idiots, just seek to eliminate those attitudes / behaviours or people from our teams

@Emotionalsupportviper , Harlow is popular on Baby Names threads. Grin

loislovesstewie · 02/12/2022 18:49

Is that Harlow with a t, as Margot Asquith said?

IDontWantToBeAPie · 02/12/2022 21:30

Why not just go for Storm? It's out there but works better as a name imo.

Storm Rose
Storm Julia
Storm Viola

Etc

Do those names come with a Met Office weather warning?

@DogInATent God I didn't even think of that! Good catch I suppose.

Theoldwoman · 03/12/2022 15:07

Stormi Clare

For seafaring nations, throughout history fair weather and the fortune of breeze to the sails was a matter of life or death to the crew. This is a dramatic version of that I suppose.

@OP I prefer established nature names, however this isn’t it, and Stormi is way too connected to the Kardashians, worse still, many people’s brains will jump to the soundclip of her affronted mother saying “Stormiiiii, you look like Mommiiii babiiii ”. She unintentionally sounds like Miss Piggy. Google it. You won’t be able to get out of your mind for days.

Instead, what about Tempest if you like the string connotations of a storm.

Or what about Alizé or Alizée which means trade wind/tropical wind with reference to seas, sailing, and positive nautical connotations. A well established French name, it has many namesakes, including James Middleton’s wife.

ThereAreNamesAndThereAreNamez · 03/12/2022 19:42

Strong associations, not string!!

SleepingStandingUp · 03/12/2022 19:58

Am I the only one who thought Stormzy then Storm off Down on The Farm, not a Kardashian? I mean if we can't do Jenner or Kardashian names, I guess Penelope is out too!

ThereAreNamesAndThereAreNamez · 03/12/2022 20:13

Penelope is somewhat downgraded by the Kardashian association but there is legend behind it.

Similarly, the day Robbie Williams named his daughter Theodora, was an awful day. She is likely to be heavily promoted in the near future, hopefully not gurning with a vast ego to match.

Stormi Cloudi Meatballi

girlmom21 · 02/12/2022 07:42

It's not really a debate but more a hopeful wake up call.

This. I'm seriously begging you not to call your child Stormi. Give your child a normal name, one she wont get bullied with. Please.

marblemad · 06/12/2022 00:56

Why Stormi? The kardashians get away with it because of wealth but it looks 'chavvy' without the wealth

MoggyMittens23 · 06/12/2022 13:30

Herejustforthisone · 02/12/2022 07:55

I’m not sure I believe that the OP didn’t realise Kylie Kardashian’s kid was called a Stormi…

I can't believe you don't know that's not her name, she is not a Kardashian

Gingersnappy · 06/12/2022 16:26

I like Stormi Autumn
