So after posting about TAM and narrowing down my T name choices with your help, I’m embarking on a quest to find my favorite initial TAM choices. This will be a journey…
Part 1 is [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] (more to follow).
What do you think of these combos? Useable? What AM names would you pair with [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]?
these names are very specific and unique, i think too unique for the average person to be able to give advice on them. it seems that the name is very special to you, so you may have to narrow it down yourself and use what feels best.
Ooo, [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]! I like [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]. I’d never thought much about it before you started posting about it, and I realized how much I like how it sounds!
Tempest [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f] is gorgeous and I love [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_u]Merle[/name_u]. They feel the right balance between big and bold and wearable
I took [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] off my list a while ago (I wasn’t sure if the ending would be an issue) and now I keep seeing her everywhere I’m falling in love again! I think [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] has a very specific imagery that fits perfectly with strong, powerful, almost elemental/Mother [name_u]Nature[/name_u] like choices such as [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Morgana[/name_f], [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. I would definitely get [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] in there; she’s all calm, quiet seas, chilled and relaxed, unless you cross her, then she’s crashing waves, stormy skies, and unending passion, which I think suits a [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] to a T. *s are my favourites.
Of your combos I like:
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] Arsinoë [name_f]Meg[/name_f] (I love seeing Arsinoë!)*
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Astraea[/name_f] Mimose
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Alma[/name_f] Melpomene
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_f]Morag[/name_f] (I do think [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] work in terms of ‘feel’ but they’re a bit too similar sound wise in my opinion).
Some mix and matches of yours I think would be great!
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] Arsinoë [name_f]Muse[/name_f]*
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Maud[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Alma[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f]
And with some of my suggestions:
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f]*
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] Ashildr [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]*
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Ailsa[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Arete[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]*
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]*
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] Melpomene
ETA: I was just thinking about Tempest combos for my list (she’s definitely going back on!), and have to hop on to add Tempest Andromeda Muse. Also this post’s given me so much inspiration and love for some names I haven’t thought too much about (Muse and Melpomene especially). I know that wasn’t the primary intention, but thank you!
Tempest [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f], [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Astraea[/name_f] Mimose and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Morning[/name_f] sound magical, but I don’t think it works in real life, I’m sorry. With [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] as a first, I would avoid [name_f]Morning[/name_f], Mimose and [name_f]Muse[/name_f] as they feel very descriptive.
I love [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], but none of the combinations with [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] excites me. [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] is beautiful too!
@regionlatbest, [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are gorgeous. Definitely going on my list.
@whatchamacallit. I also prefer [name_f]Apolline[/name_f]. I think this was a victim of autocorrect.
Thanks! I agree they are pretty much the most wearable of the bunch.

I would definitely get Morgana in there; she’s all calm, quiet seas, chilled and relaxed, unless you cross her, then she’s crashing waves, stormy skies, and unending passion, which I think suits a Tempest to a T.

I so agree about [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]. One of H’s best “friends” is a M0rgan [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] though, so DH has vetoed using any [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] names (and has nixed [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and is only just tolerating [name_f]Agate[/name_f], [name_f]Agathe[/name_f], and [name_f]Agatta[/name_f], which are among my very very favorite names). Perhaps if it is a second middle, I might be able to sneak [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]/Morganna in. He tolerates [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f].

I’m glad to reignite you love of [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] and to inspire some new name crushes!
I love [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] Ashildr [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Ailsa[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Arete[/name_f] [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[quote=“[name_f]Estrela[/name_f], post:10, topic:340480”]
[name_u]Tempest[/name_u] AislingMuse, TempestAstraea Mimose and TempestApollineMorning sound magical, but I don’t think it works in real life, I’m sorry.

Yeah I totally get this. They are pretty OTT even for me, though I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye, especially to [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f].
I think [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Aster[/name_f]/Astraea/Astrid/Artemis/Anais are a bit of a tongue twister, even though I LOVE all of these names individually.
I love [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] but it’s a bit out there, so I would pair it with a middle that’s more familiar, especially the “A” middle, since it immediately follows [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]. I particularly like [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Macy[/name_f] and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Anita[/name_f] [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] (never seen [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] before, but it’s beautiful!).
I personally love [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Astraea[/name_f] Mimose and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] Menodora.
@TeaJay, I love your [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] Arsinoë [name_f]Mauve[/name_f].
@juliem1912, you’ve given me quite a few A and M names to reconsider, but as far as combos your [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Antinea[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] shines so bright!!
Thanks again, everyone! Your feedback is so valuable!
I have a coworker named [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]! I remember thinking it was unusual and cool when I first met her, but I’ve gotten used to it and it totally feels very wearable to me now.
I like [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f], [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Moira[/name_f], and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] [name_f]Arete[/name_f] [name_f]Melisande[/name_f].

Perhaps if it is a second middle, I might be able to sneak [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]/Morganna in. He tolerates [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f].
