Comments for the name Tempest

I love this name! I think it's so, so very pretty.

I have always loved the name Tempest. It was my great grandmother's name: Tempest Dewdrop Murphy.

Tempest = temper tantrum. Name your daughter this and you're asking for a brat. (I do think it's pretty cool though.)

A famous bearer of this name is actress Tempestt Bledsoe who played Vanessa on the Cosby Show.

I love Tempest! I think it's so awesome. It's so much better than naming your kid Storm or Stormy. And it just sounds and looks so pretty!

This is such a cool name.

I love, love, love this name. I actually got it off someone on the LiveJournal site who had a beautiful daughter named this, and so now it is one of my favourites. :)

There was once a girl named Tempest Smith. She committed suicide in 2001. There have been at least two foundations named after her.

I think that the name Tempest is beautiful. I love different names, and I think that Tempest is great. It's a beautiful name, and I like its simple meaning.

In my opinion, this is a classy and cool name.

All I can see is a three-year-old having a temper tantrum.

What a horrible name. It sounds like the name of a child from hell who screams and roars and throws things in a fit of rage ever so often. Actually, this doesn't sound like a name to begin with, and it certainly doesn't sound feminine.

I lovelovelove this name! It is extremely feminine and very strong. It has a beautiful sound to it--and is incredibly unique!
I think of a Tempest as a sarcastic and witty redhead that dresses in frilly Lolita dresses, but isn't seen as a "girly girl."

Tempest is lovely, although I do prefer Temperance.

This name reminds me of Sense and Sensibility, which I love, because Marianne and Willoughby say it in a poem. So silly, but it's so pretty.

What if someone named a girl Tempest Katrina Lastname? Eeek! Anyway, I think this would be best as a middle name, or as a nickname for Temperance/Temperence.

I think this name is too short and no offense to all the Tempests out there. But this name sounds like a stripper or dominatrix name.

It sounds like a stuck-up name that literary snobs would use. Kinda New Age-y as well.

What the... This doesn't even sound like a name! Word names like Grace and Ruby are fine with me, but this is going too far! My guess would be that parents who name their daughters "Tempest" are probably trying to sound a lot smarter than they actually are by naming their child after a Shakespeare play.

I like this. However, I don't like Tempestt.
