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

Stormi is a great name for a hamster. So how about "nutballs" for a middle name? Would that work w your surname?

Or change Stormi to Storming and then Nora for a middle name?

Stormi Nutballs
Storming Nora

For the love of everything holy do not name her Stormi she's not a dolly or a toy, give her a normal, accurately spelt name. Channel your hippy creativity into art or something not into your child's name.

You could call their sibling Starri and keep Nyte as a family middle name. Pass it down through the generations.

I’m sorry but why the fuck would you name a child Stormi? That poor kid!

caitlinrose · 02/12/2022 08:31

I also don't get the hate for Stormy. I wouldn't recommend Stormi either but Stormy is fine?

What is so different between Stormy and Autumn, Skye, Summer, Brooke, Dawn?

I think there's nothing wrong with it as long as it's spelt Stormy.

I think the issue is in real life people will be polite to your face because as you say its your choice. Believe me though they will go home and say can you Believe that Astyr is going to call her kid Stormi. (defo porn star vibes). Imagine the poor kid at school.

I think actually coming here and people being able to say what they think unfettered is a good gauge of what people would think.

Its not a name like Sophie or Kate where you like it or not as a matter of personal choice. It is a real "taste/tasteless" choice. If you are happy to go ahead knowing it will be one of those names that will raise eyebrows but not in a good way that is of course fine and entirely your choice but don't kid yourself it won't.

Suggestion would be to go for something like a colour - such as Stormi Blue or Stormi Jade

Your family are being kind.

Why don’t people name their children nice, normal names anymore? It seems a race to the bottom who can be the most quirky and unique. Yeah it’s great for the parents but that kid has to put up with it the entirety of their life. Other kids are dicks, other adults are dicks, you don’t want your child being a source of unwanted attention.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 02/12/2022 08:33

Op, think about it this way. These reactions that you're reading are going to be most people's reactions to your daughter's name. You are getting upset and defensive just reading this thread. Your daughter is going to have to go through her whole life getting these reactions.

Please, please think of her above yourself. You like the name. 99% of people think it's ridiculous. Would you like it if nearly everyone you met was sniggering at your name when you introduced yourself?

Stormi Autumn? Would you really do that to your child?

My child has never had a bad word said to her - her name is universally loved by those that know her they are probably just being polite. No-one needs to be polite on here - you will get an honest reaction (from teachers and employers and people you won't want your child to make a bad impression on before she's even opened her mouth). Stormi is fine as a nickname, but give the girl a real name to put on her job application.

Suffrajitsu · 02/12/2022 08:37

But honestly are we going to ignore the fact that people use celebrity names all the time?

This isn't a celebrity name, it's a pornstar name.

Kittylickingplate · 02/12/2022 08:37

Stormi Blue.

Yesthatismychildsigh · 02/12/2022 08:37

Add another stripper name.

Alondra · 02/12/2022 08:38

Alba
Laia
Nahia
Ainhoa
Amaia
Nerea

Except for Alba, the rest are traditional Basque names for women.

No way are your friends and family telling you what they really think!

If you are set on having a middle name OP some of the ones in this article may appeal to you.
Names are a very personal choice, our DS has a first name that people know, but is not a name heard everyday in the UK, and it's never been an issue. I hope you find a middle name both you and your DH love.

NameChangeSnob · 02/12/2022 08:40

I've name changed for this because I feel bad about my thoughts about a baby/ child.

I will fully admit that I'm a name snob, but made-up awful names really make my teeth itch.
If someone introduced their baby Stormi to me, I'd do a double take and make a mental note to avoid them (the parent) - I'd have to wonder WTAF?????
If my child came home with a friend called Stormi I would not be encouraging the friendship to be honest. I couldn't call a child by that name, so wouldn't address them by name at all. Same as an adult by the way, I wouldn't address them by such a ridiculous name.
I know you're getting a lot of flack, and I'm sorry to add to it, but I have to be honest as I think it's probably the worst name I've seen on here.
Your friends and family who have said they love the name are either lying, or it's normal in your circles & therefore it's one I'd avoid.

Stormi Wind

FridayNightIsWineNight · 02/12/2022 08:41

I personally don't like it, and especially don't like it spelt with an 'i'. Storm is better but only slightly.
I would say middle name needs to be a 'normal' or traditional name so she can use that if she starts getting teased or grows up to hate it. The issue with using a traditional middle name is it sounds like the named storms we have throughout the year issued by the met office. Storm Edna etc.
Completely different if you use is at the middle name and have a normal first name.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/12/2022 08:41

If you say 'Open to any and all suggestions', don't be outraged when people suggest you think again!

But if you're really set on Stomi, obviously avoid anything that sounds like a weather report (autumn and Skye, amazed anyone suggested the latterConfused). Or a farrow and ball paint chart with colours.

Probably better with something quite plain and 'hard edged' - Stormi Jean ?
