Middle name for Stormi?

[astyr]

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

Don’t think you can invite people to comment on your child’s name and then complain when they comment on your child’s name.

Stormy is nice but the only middle name on this thread that goes with it is Rae. The pornstar and Kardashian connections are strong though, denying them won’t make them go away. Also think it’s a bit too close to stoma (as in bag)!

@astyr its a dreadful choice, unless you think there is a very very high chance of your child, being stunningly beautiful and ending up as a model or an actress and you really do have to be brutally honest with yourself here choose a more normal name like Sarah. She will be sniggered at throughout primary school. It’ll probably seem cool in secondary school and then when she gets to work it’ll be back to sniggering again.
Its very unkind to bestow that on a young woman

You do realise Mercedes is a fairly common “proper” name in Spanish speaking countries?

Mercedes is one of the old classic names for women in Spain and goes back to the Roman times "Our Lady of Mercy"

The Mercedes car we all know today was named after the daughter of Emil Jillinek, Mercedes Jillinek.

I actually didn't know. Not everyone follows reality shows or celebrity gossip.

I only remembered that years ago there was someone on instagram named Stormi but she was in her mid 20s at the time and was only known as some famous model's girlfriend even though she also did some modeling herself, if I remember correctly.

So I thought of her.

Your family was probably being polite and then laughing as you left. Do you really want to choose this life for your baby?

Stormi? WTF.

IT'S NOT A NAME.

Stormi McStormface.

Please don't do it. It's a stripper name.

Are you thinking of Stormy Daniels? Wasn’t she a prostitute who shagged Donald Trump?

Stormi Ferrie-Crossing is my favourite

@canyoutoleratethis You chose your child’s name for a reason though and didn’t choose others. So why did you not pick those others? You made associations with Olivia’s and Tristan’s the same as Doris and Arthur or names in the top 10. Pretending no one thinks about names is daft.

I quite like adjective names as in the Native Americans tradition. But as you probably aren’t, having no middle name is appropriate. Middle names are traditionally family names to remember your relatives. So name her after a family member.

Does something like Stomi Amber have less of the descriptive connotations?

Clever!😃

You better hope she has a very placid nature or she will get the absolute piss taken out of her every time she's in a bad mood. Puberty will be a very risky time for her getting stormy mood jokes.
If you must, Storm is better than Stormy, which is better than Stormi.

The thing is when people think of baby names they think of a little three year old running about and pretty much anything seems cute. We frequently called our toddler “Boo” for goodness sake (he has a normal real name) Anything works for a toddler.

50 year old Stormi is going to hate you for assuming her rap/porn career would take off.

@caitlinrose @ShandaLear

Stormi Henley I guess. Although it took skimming through 3 pages of Stormi Webster Google results to find her.

@caitlinrose yes I'm not suggesting everyone will know but if you've chosen it as your daughter's name, then you've at the very least googled it!

Imagine an adult professional introducing themselves as Stormi ....... fine for a child but not really suitable for an adult.

No, it was Stormi. She was a regular model, not a prostitute and it was several years back.

Choosing a name is like writing a poem. What is it you're expressing, what does the word mean, what do words it sounds like really mean how does it sound, what does it remind you of, how does it make you feel, what has inspired it?
Ask yourself these questions before choosing a name, your child might thank you one day.

😂😂😂😂

Perfect!

The names MN hates are generally well accepted in their demographic/local communities. However it's harder to be leave that community/demographic with a name that evokes unconscious bias. It works the other way too and the child called Horatio or Gulliver could also suffer at a non leafy comp.

I'd play it safe but many people think that's boring. I say it from the place of having a name at the other end of the spectrum and would have preferred something unremarkable like: Angela or Jane. It is incredibly boring when people comment about your name and form an opinion because of it. Sadly the most comments in my youth came from teachers and nurses - people who shoukd know better.
