[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]

HI OP - I agree with you. I am surprised by the vitriolic reaction it has received, it definitely seems over the top. I guess I'm kinda neutral on the name, I do think it's cool but still a bit undecided on whether I [i]really[/i] like it. And no, your child does not NEED a nickname for God's sake. None of my kids have names with nn's and they are just fine.  :roll: We do have family nn's for them, but they are not suffering emotional distress because their friends don't call them by another name. Tempest is unique and not ugly and could be awesome. I think you should go for it!! [/quote]
