Storm!

I've recently come across two children called Storm.

Now i was having a laugh about this to my mum; 'Can you believe there are two girls called Storm around, laugh, laugh, what were they thinking, etc, etc' and her reply was 'GIRLS???'

Now to me, Storm sounds a girly name (though i know prehaps not strictly a name!!) but she thinks it's more for a boy.

What do you all think? Girl or boy?

My brother's stepson was called Storm. He hated it. The summer before he went to secondary school, he asked if he could change it, so we had a family party at which he changed his name to Thomas. He has been much happier ever since!

I know girls called Storm. I have a friend who called her dd Amaya because it means storm and she was born in a storm. I think it's a lovely name but I'd go with Amaya rather than Storm.

A girl. Definitely.

I thought Amaya was a form of 'loved'.

Girl I've met several of them too. Also know a Leaf who's a guy.

Isn't that Joachim Phoenix's real name fuzzywuzzy? Are you a friend to slebs?

fuzzywuzzy · 10/11/2008 18:19

blimey no, Leaf worked in a bar I did accounts for, he was kind of dreamy with long blonde hair and very sweet....albeit an utterly crap bar person.

Shoshe · 10/11/2008 18:21

If DD had been a boy he would have been Storm.

seeker · 10/11/2008 18:35

Lots of Leifs in Scandanavia!

HeadFairy · 10/11/2008 18:43

Well you couldn't be anything other than dreamy if you were called Leaf could you?

dweezle · 11/11/2008 08:47

Storm - what if she has thin mousy hair, a slight moustache, and works in a library.

2point4kids · 11/11/2008 08:50

Girl

frazzledoldbag34 · 11/11/2008 12:49

I think girl, but then I also think she'd have to end up being a supermodel or actress (or porn star perhaps?) to carry off a name like that. She couldn't very well end up a checkout girl in Asda could she???

Bonnycat · 11/11/2008 16:31

Girl, i love it but wouldnt be brave enough to use it.
I used to know one spelt with an e on the end...

RachieB · 11/11/2008 21:29

i know of a female Storm

Hulababy · 11/11/2008 21:32

It isn;t a real name is it? So surely it is unisex. Not for me.
