Can't find a name

Hello, everyone!
DH and I are having trouble finding a first name that we both love and that would go well with our surname St0®m. We are searching for a potential middle name too.

[name_f]My[/name_f] top 5: (in no particular order)
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]

His top 5:
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]

We are open to any suggestions!
TIA

I think [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] St0rm is a very strong name. Since her last name will be kind of forceful, you might want to go with another name that uses stronger sounds.

My picks (in no particular order):
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]

I like the idea of [name_f]Aria[/name_f] Storm! However from your list(s) I love:

  • Aria(dne)
  • Delilah
  • Zinnia
  • Esme

I think given your surname you can have a lot of bold choices and combos that flow well and are unique! I would chose [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] or [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], but if your having trouble deciding the option to make one a middle name is always possible!

Hi there.

Here are my thoughts on the lists:

Lilia-I love this name so much. It’s just feminine, beautiful, sweet but kind of bold too. It has lovely imagery of lily flowers as well. It’s fairly simple, & not too over done. And it sounds great w/your ln.

Delilah-I like [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] & [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. But I can’t get into [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. It just sounds too fussy. And it’s really pretty common in my area at least.

Lorelei-I find this one a little bit fussy as well, but it’s still pretty. However, I don’t like how it sounds w/your ln. Too many ‘or’ sounds, you know?

Arden-Meh, I can’t get into this one. Other people on this site seem to love it, but I feel like it sounds bland & kind of boyish.

Ariadne-I like this in theory, but feel like the spelling & pronunciation would be a headache.

Zinnia-Paired w/your ln, I picture a bunch of zinnia flowers flying around violently! I guess it’s not that bad…but [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] is not my style. I try to like it, because it’s an unique botanical name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not into the sound personally, but it’s not awful.

Kaia-It has a pleasant sound, & I can see the appeal. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a little modern for my tastes, but nothing wrong w/it.

Esme-This is such a gorgeous, elegant, classic, spunky name. I love it. I unfortunately don’t think that it’s perfect w/your ln, but I guess it’s not that bad.

Vivian-This is an elegant sophisticated classic. Maybe a bit more popular if that bothers you, but not too popular.

Naomi-This is a fine name. I don’t personally love it, but I have no good reason not to.

Here are a few suggestions that you may like:

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

Naming is so hard completely understand your struggles I’m also struggling! However I have to say that [name_u]Storm[/name_u] is a fab surname :purple_heart:

From your overall list my top two are [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] & [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. However you really can’t go wrong with any of them I am not a massive fan of [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] or [name_u]Arden[/name_u] but the rest are absolutely lush.

Lilia is on my current list of names for my daughter due 9.2.21 I absolutely love [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] she’s beautiful. It’s an international choice and has the lovely meaning lily. I think [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_u]Storm[/name_u] would be really majestic gorgeous! [name_f]My[/name_f] only concern is that maybe the combination despite being very gorgeous could be too nature inspired. I’m just not sure :woman_shrugging:t3:

Vivian is great she’s sophisticated, has a old school Hollywood vibe just oozes glamour. I think [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] is a gorgeous nickname and I also think [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Storm[/name_u] definitely works sounds strong & classy.

Personally I would choose [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] just because she’s gorgeous and I don’t see any cons with the name [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Storm[/name_u].

I love [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], especially as a middle name!
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]

([name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are definitely [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], but the repetition isn’t appealing to everyone.) [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped. Best of luck!
