Ok heres a different one for a girl..........

Tempest.

My husband really likes it for a girl but im not sure at all. It means goddess of storms but I personally think its a bit of a 'dark' name iykwim! and I like pretty names.

Maybe it will grow on me.

Would it go with my other childrens names? India, Heavenly and Meadow?

What do you think?

Very different....i like it

You could end up with a stroppy one though. The other names seem very gentle and peaceful, I'd go for something prettier and more feminine.

Is your Hubby into cars

Thats a name of a classic muscle car.

It would be a very unique name

I just think of temper temper! Not so good
I like Goddess names though, there are plenty to choose from
Oh and I like Ariel, which is an airy spirit from the Tempest. The play I mean

Also, I think the name is actually Tempestes which the word Tempest comes from. If you like Roman (minor) goddess names how about:

Carmenta - Goddess of Childbirth and Prophecy
Copia- Goddess of Plenty
Decima- One of the Fates
Deverra- Patron Goddess of midwives(!)
Fauna- Goddess of the Earth
Feronia- Goddess of Freedom
Juturna- Goddess of Lakes and Springs
Lucina- Another Goddess of Childbirth
Suadela- Goddess of Persuasion

I'm sorry but I don't like it at all, it reminds me of a witch for some reason. I don't mean that in a nasty way...I just kind of pictured a witch when I read the name!! xx

I wouldn't want my child associated with a tempestuous personality

Personally i don't care for meanings at all as you really don't know what personality your baby will have anyway. If you like the name go for it if not then don't.

Tempest? Personally i don't like it & can't see it mixing with the other names you have with are much more girly, feminine & pretty . x
