Help[Opinions] Re: Tempest
in reply to a message by Ottilie
A few years back I loved Tempest as a middle name for a boy. And when I say loved, I mean I absolutely adored this name!
And then I shared it on here, in the combo Edmund Tempest, and as you can imagine got a Hell of a lot of backlash for my troubles! But I'd never heard of Tempest as a female name, my only two associations of it being; the Shakespeare play, and as the surname of a set of twins who were protagonists in a series of books I read as a pre-teen.
Honestly I don't think it can work as a first name. And I still love it on a boy, so seeing it next to frilly, beautiful names such as Eliza and Miriam, seems totally wrong and alien to me. :)
My constantly changing PNL:

Bottom rated = Kacey and Kim :(
