[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly like the name. I think it's unique and strong without being weird, and also works well for an adult. I didn't expect such a strong negative reaction. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, but I honestly think the majority of negative responses are over the top, and trollish, just trying to sound cool, mean girl like behavior, which is fitting since a reason for not using the name was " the other arents on the playground will talk". Middle school mentality.

I also think it's a touch of groupthink and a lack of familiarity. I've looked at several name threads and have seen people freak out about a name but then a year or so later it's one of the most suggested names.

Anyway. I still like the name and will likely still use it.[/quote]

[b]Do you know what the word tempest means?[/b] And if so, why do you want to associate your child with that?[/quote]

Honestly, if I met a kid with this name I would assume the parent wasn't very educated and didn't know what it meant.  Other names this parent might choose: Dirk, Randy, Tiara, Misty.  [/quote]
