Help[Opinions] Re: Tempest
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I don't think it's very namey. It makes a better middle name. The word "pest" really jumps out at me. Also it reminds of tempest in a teapot, tempestuous (connotes something trivial or annoyingly chaotic), and Shakespeare (pretentiously literary). I prefer Storm or Stormy. This reminds me, I met a little girl aged 7 named Stormy, a couple of weeks ago.

I've actually known more Storms than I care to count, and the name really doesn't do much for me. It's interesting you say "tempest in a teapot" - I've only ever known "storm in a teacup". And I quite enjoy Tempest's pretentiousness ;)

A girl in my kindergarten class was named Rainey, and her mother's name was Stormy!
