Is this name too unusual?

I really like Story as a first name, I have a thing for word names especially about literature since I am a nut for all of that stuff.
Is Story usable? Talk me into or out of it. :slight_smile:

I think it’s definitely useable! There are so many other word names that are in common use today (plant names, place names, occupation names, etc.), so I don’t see why [name_u]Story[/name_u] can’t work.
I think it’s sweet, and I also love the book/literature connection. :slight_smile:

Maybe a little much as a first name, and they didn’t like to read, they’d constantly be hearing about that. But I think it would make a seriously cool middle name.

I think it’s cool and fine as long as the middle name is a more “normal” one for them to fall back on if they desire. I wouldn’t even see it as a problem if they don’t like to read because not all storytelling is written by a long shot. Cultures without a written language seem to do even more storytelling.

It could be a MN.
As a FN, I would say not usable. Unless you’re a Hollywood personality, and she’d be surrounded by peers named [name_f]Apple[/name_f] or [name_u]Blue[/name_u] or [name_u]North[/name_u].

I personally don’t think it is usable, as it is very unusual -if not unheard of- for a name but it is very well known as a word.

It doesn’t sound outlandish to me. Word names are ‘in’ anyway so it isn’t odd!

I think it’s usable, there are far more unusual word names and I think [name_u]Story[/name_u] is really pretty. If you felt it was too unusual, you could always go for [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] nn [name_u]Story[/name_u] :two_hearts:

I really like [name_u]Story[/name_u] ! I think it totally works as a full/ given name , middle name or even a nickname and I can see it as unisex too.
[name_u]Story[/name_u] has old Norse and [name_f]English[/name_f] roots and I think has grown in popularity since the 90’s.

Names like
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f]
Ceastor
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_u]Poet[/name_u]

I think [name_u]Story[/name_u] works! It’s similiar enough to [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] that it feels usable :slight_smile:

[name_u]Story[/name_u] is completely usable! if I’m being fully honest, I wouldn’t be too surprised to meet a five or six year old Story–in fact, I’d be delighted :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

personally, though, I do prefer it as a middle, as I do most word names :woman_shrugging: but you do you!

[name_u]Story[/name_u] is super sweet! As an aspiring storyteller I love the sentiment; I would love to find a home for [name_u]Story[/name_u] on my list but just haven’t found the right spot yet. :heart: I know quite a few seem to love [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] nn Story; which sounds nice, but it just reminds me of the NYC hotel haha. I would love to meet a just [name_u]Story[/name_u]! I remember a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] had [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] on her list a while back; I think that’s super sweet!
