Middle name for Stormi?

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

Please don't its unfair on the child having a silly name.

Teadrinkingmumofone · 02/12/2022 07:54

I'd change Stormi before worrying about middle names.

lifeinthehills · 02/12/2022 07:54

What about making Stormi the middle name? Autumn Stormi. Rose Stormi.

Stormi Waterz

Sorry @astyr i don’t normally take the piss out of people’s choice of baby names but Stormi is awful. You’re naming a person, not a cute, little baby. They’re stuck with it their whole lives.

Autumn Rose is lovely, imo, though.

RudsyFarmer · 02/12/2022 07:54

If you’re going to emulate a Kardashian then I’d go for Penelope and at least give your kid a chance to blend in at school.

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

Ciri · 02/12/2022 07:55

It isn’t snobbery it’s just pointing out what everyone is secretly thinking. These stupid made up bizarrely spelled names make people think the parents are of low intelligence. It might not be a correct assumption but it is the assumption that will be made. It’s a ridiculous thing to call your baby.

GlassDeli · 02/12/2022 07:56

Stormi Storm

KirstenBlest · 02/12/2022 07:56

I'd go for no middle name, then she can be Stormi Nowt

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 02/12/2022 07:56

I’d choose something more mainstream for the middle name in case they hate the name Stormi when they’re older and want to change it. Rose is a good option of the two you mentioned.

No need for people to be so horrible about someone elses baby name,

Its not their name yet (thankfully)

But it is a porn star name, so I would think carefully before using it

Theydoyaknow · 02/12/2022 07:57

This is all just a Stormi in a teacup. Give your child a decent name OP.

I was born on a stormy day in Autumn. My name is Stormi Autumn.

Ohhhhhh I see what you mum did there! How clever!

Not.

PinkHeadphones · 02/12/2022 07:57

If I don’t like a name I don’t usually comment, like why should anyone care whether I personally don’t like a name. (Unless someone asks for a rating of names). And the vast majority of names on here that people say “ugh that’s a word”, “that’s not a name” I generally am OK with.

But, and this is related to your middle name dilemma so I think it is worth saying, even though everyone else has too, Stormi really really doesn’t work as a first name because it describes the second name. Honestly, it is like calling a child Feisty Charlotte or Spicy Marie or Brooding Billy. You know this, that’s why you can’t find a middle name that works.

So is no one going to actually respond to what the thread was for? It wasn't a debate for her first name. And you do realize probably every name on the earth has been used by a porn star? Had to Google just now to see one of the Kardashians named their kid this as well. Not that I should have to explain but my last name ends in i which is why we changed the y to an i. To each their own but I hope you people aren't this awful to people in real life.

But you said you were avoiding description names... But are using Stormi, which is a descriptive name. I think you confused people.

the middle name doesn't have to match the first. It will never get used day to day, only on official forms.

FettleOfKish · 02/12/2022 07:58

I know porn is a huge industry but I sincerely doubt that.

In any case porn stars named 'Jane' even if they do have very high profile connections to ex-US presidents, are enormously diluted by the millions of other normal people called Jane, of whom I'd imagine most Western English speaking people know one or of one in real life.

People called Stormy / Stormi are so rare that (although I don't actually think it's a terrible name) the porn star / Kardashian connection will be indelibly etched onto them. For people already named Stormy it's too bad, but for your baby you have time to change this.

ladydimitrescu · 02/12/2022 07:58

Did you honestly not know Kylie Jenner named her baby this? I honestly don't believe you came up with Stormi with the exact spelling without seeing it plastered all over the internet for the last however many years.
I don't think it's even the name - it's the fact it's going to look like you just named her after a Kardashian.

Well said OP!! The sheer snobbery on the MN baby names thread is repugnant, but it says more about the posters than anything else. For what it's worth, I have a DD with a name absolutely hated on here (also an adjective), and my child has never had a bad word said to her - her name is universally loved by those that know her, because in real life, people aren't such dicks and they love my child, and her name is part of her. It's only the bullies on here that go on about a child being picked on about a name, I suppose it takes one to know one.

Anyway, back to the point of your thread, I liked the PP's suggestion of Rae. I think you need a short one syllable name to work with Stormi

I mean seriously I just feel bad for these people. No one in my real life gas disliked the name as a matter of fact everyone loves it. I even asked my family if they thought changing the last letter to match my name was off putting and they said not at all. No one pointed out celebrities or porn stars. But honestly are we going to ignore the fact that people use celebrity names all the time?
To answer others questions, yes, I will still use the name even knowing now it's a famous name. And no hate to the ones who said it would sound better with no middle name, but I will definitely be using a middle name. I strongly dislike not having a middle name or just a letter. And again. The post was for middle name suggestions. I won't actually be using Autumn or Rose, as the post said it was more something to stray away from. I'm looking for a more classical name I think. I won't use this one but Elizabeth for example

Right, so you're actually talking about the name being associated with low intelligence, but you're not being a snob? Ok 🙄
The word chav has been used already, and let's be honest about why the Kardashian's have come into this. It's snobbery. At least be up front about it

caitlinrose · 02/12/2022 07:59

Stormy is actually kind of cute. It's a nice nature name.

But please don't spell it Stormi. It looks misspelt and like an instagram-B-celebrity sort of name.

Stormy Rose is...odd. What is a stormy rose supposed to be?

Stormy Autumn is sort of pretty in a way but I'd rather use a non-nature name in the middle.

Stormy Isabelle
Stormy Eva
Stormy Fiona

Thinking about it...maybe a nature name is better in the middle? Because Stormy Isabelle etc. sort of sound like the name of a hurricane or a person with a very energetic personality. But with nature names it sounds a bit like a fragrance. It's difficult with an adjective.

Stormy Autumn, go with that. Or Stormy Eve maybe? I like nature names but they are harder to pair.

Does that mean you’re planning to give your child a name that rhymes with her surname as well it’s it being a description of weather?

Melstarrynight · 02/12/2022 07:59

It's a pretty notorious porn star name though isn't it?
