Don't know whyyyyy....
There's no sun up in the skyyyyyy, stormy weather. Since my man and I ain't together....keeps raining all the tiiii---iiimmmmeeee.
One of my favourite standards. :) If I knew a Stormy, she'd hear that song a lot from me, but I suspect I'm an oddball in this case. Most of the kids her age (and the adults, aka kids my age ;) wouldn't know the song if it spat in their faces, alas.
Stormy, in the end, sounds like either a horse (ever read Marguerite Henry's Stormy, Misty's Foal? Me neither, but it's what I think of) or an angst-ridden protaganist in a poorly written teen "issues" novel. If I met one and she made a good impression, I suspect I'd find it really cool, though.
On the other hand, Stormy Weather would be a cool name, particularly if it was what the weather was like when she was born. :D

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I sing "Stormy Weather" to my cat, Stormy, quite often. She thinks I'm nuts. :b She's a tortie, and her coat is quite dark and swirly, like a storm. But I also gave her that name because I 1) got her in a stormy time in my life (figuratively speaking), and 2) because (literally) it was also hurricane season. Two years ago this month, actually. :b
Speaking of singing songs to people--My best friend is named Kimmie but her nn of sorts is Irene (she was almost named Irene Rowena--wouldn't that have been great?!--and my sister wanted to name me Juanita Marie, so she & I often call each other by these names...we're strange like that). So I often sing "Goodnight, Irene" to her. Another old song. She searched on the net to find a song with Juanita in it, and we found some 1950s song called "Unchain My Heart, Juanita". But we only found the lyrics and not the track. :(
Wow, got off on a tangent there. :-/ Need to go to bed....

I don't like it. Storm is okay, but Stormy sounds kind of weird to me. :-)

I prefer Storm, and on a boy.

I've personally always loved it, along with Tempest, but I don'y know if I would ever use it because of the teasing a kid might get.

Good nickname.

Sounds like a horse name to me.

I know one
and I think it's tacky. Her sister's MN is Tempest, and their mother is, for lack of a better word, unstable, so maybe I just have a bad association.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

Was she truly, truly, truly outrageous? It reminds me of JEM. I think it would be better as a playful nickname than a first name.

No, but there was a character called Stormer. She was one of The Misfits, the rival band. The one with the blue hair.
There was a character from Rainbow Brite named Stormy, though.
Got my 80s trivia mixed up. For shame!
