Comments for the name Misty

My name is Misty and I like my name because I think it's cool and unusual. I also have many nicknames like mist/miss T and I think it's quite funny.

My name is Misty Winds Eastes. I know the name is unusual but its cool. I was named after an Indian princess. But I like the name, I am the only person in my school of 500 or so to have it.

This is a very beutiful name!

My name is Misty Elizabeth (Elizabeth being my middle name) and I like it because it's unique and no one else in my school had that name. I'm glad because there's 6 Emilys in my grade alone. I don't think I could handle someone else in my grade having the name that is mine!

My name is Misty and it kinda sucks. In fact I want to change it. I have wanted to change it since I was 5.

"Misty" is a jazz standard written in 1954 by the pianist Errol Garner. It plays a key role in the plot of the Clint Eastwood thriller Play Misty for Me.

Misty is a horse in the popular books by Marguerite Henry.

After my family watched a movie with the name misty we thought about naming our dog that, but my mom said it wrong and we ended up calling her Mitsy instead. I think its a unique name!

Misty is the name of a character in the first Pokemon series.

I think it is a very beautiful name for cats and people!

There are SO many cats named Misty. Seriously, it's the number one most popular name in the U.S. for cats. My oldest cat's name is Misty, I've had her since I was two, so I've grown up with the impression of it being pretty, but for me it's only pretty for a kitty. =]

My parents' cat's name is Misty too. I think this is an okay name for a young girl but I wouldn't use it.

Misty is my middle name. I love that name and I am happy it is my middle name! It is also my aunt's first name.

By the way, the word "mist" means "crap" in German. I think that's pretty funny.

Seems like more of a name for a horse than a child to me.

My friend's name is Misty and there's no other name that could possibly fit her. She's unique just like her name. I think Misty is such a cute name.

Very cute, but seriously lacking in substance.

It's a very cute name; My pony is called Misty. For, a person though, it might be slightly embarrassing because it sounds so girly.

One of my friends wants to change her name to Misty and I really hope she changes her mind before she actually does. I really dislike this name because it feels so insubstantial (and I don't mean literally). In this book I once read which name escapes me, this young girl was asked what she was going to name her girl. She said maybe Wendi (spelt with the "i") and the older man told her she had to give the child a "good, strong name". I agree, this name is just too flimsy for my taste.

I think the book you are mentioning is "Where the Heart Is". I never read the book, but I watched the movie.

I like the name Misty! It sounds sort of magical, because of the whole ''mist'' thing.

This name sounds too close to musty.

There's a band called Misty's Big Adventure.

It's a tad cute, I must admit, but a little too cute, and thus tacky, for a grown-up. It's very tacky when combined with Dawn, Autumn, Winter, or whatever could be Misty. It works better as a nickname or a middle name, as it isn't really one of those mature, sophisticated names, and it might lead to credibility issues.

I like it. It's a bit different, but pretty.

Misty Fey is the name of a character in the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game trilogy for Nintendo DS.

I hate this name. It makes me think of that nasty, irritating Pokémon character.

Laura Wattenberg, author of "The Baby Name Wizard", suggests that Misty is suitable primarily for horses and strippers. I actually kind of like Misty.

I must say, it cerainly is intriguing. Has an enchanting feel to it as well. And by the way, to those of you who suppose the name is "trashy" I've never heard of any stripper, or pornographic actress by that name.

I agree with the comment above. There's just something about this name. I love it. I do sort of understand why people would think it's trashy, but for me it has a kind of beauty to it. I also do like 'nature' names.

Makes me think of someone getting "misty-eyed."

I really love this name, I think Misty is a cool and modern name, especially as it reminds me of Misty from the first series of Pokemon, who is the gym leader of Cerulean City.

I don't think this name is too bad. However, I'm not keen on the fact that it's an English adjective rather than a noun. (I have the same feeling on the name Thankful--but I think that's an atrocious name to begin with, so perhaps that's not the best example.) Anyway, I would be much more inclined to use, instead of Misty, the noun Mist--or perhaps even Myst, which was a name I saw in Kresley Cole's novella "The Warlord Wants Forever" and thought it was really cool!

I want to retract my earlier comment. Misty is really, really growing on me.

Reminds me of a 1980's teeni-bopper who dreams about rainbows, riding horses, and Carebears all day. Who paints her dog's nails pink and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up, only she is so vapid and silly, she just ends up getting married right out of high school. Not a very good adult name, in my opinion. Okay nickname for a little girl.

This name should be for cats and dogs only.

I think this is a really, really pretty name.

Misty is the name of the little girl in the poem "My Name is Misty," written anonymously about child abuse.

I hate this name. When I hear it, I picture Misty from Pokemon yelling at her Psyduck. Not something I'd want to think about. Plus it's very trashy.
