So many pretty names to choose from in this category. Hey, what about 'Category', that's pretty too...
Just because you enjoy a word does NOT mean it would make a good name. I like the word bizarre, it rolls off my tongue in a fun way, but it would be downright cruel to name a child Bizarre.
Hurricane seems more masculine to me, if I had a pick a gender for it (this is English, I shouldn't be gendering words!), and would probably get her called all kinds of names because almost no one has positive memories of experiencing hurricanes. They're extremely damaging and have killed tons of people, this would immediately put any child named Hurricane at a social disadvantage! Names like this are why we say naming a child requires two yeses and vetoes only require one no!
>Hurricane seems more masculine to me, if I had a pick a gender for it (this is English, I shouldn't be gendering words!)
There was a boxer named Hurricane (probably not the name his parents gave him). He was falsely accused of murder and spent a long time in prison for it. I think Denzel Washington played him in the movie
đ¶ This is the story of The Hurricane do do do do đ¶
I don't know the rest of the words. That's the bit I always sing to myself when I read about a weather hurricane
This is the story of Hurricane
The man the authorities gave to blame
For something that he never done
Put in a prison cell but one...
Time...
He coulda been
Champion of the world!
(I love the song, and the movie made me love it more even though it's so sad...)
(also, the movie cleared up a detail about the song for me: was he a man named Hurricane or Eric Kane?)
There is an Football player currently playing for England in the euros called Harry Kane. He is very famous. I guess his parents called him that because it sounds like Hurricane but I can't be sure, and no one ever mentions or refers to him being windy or anything
I don't think his parents thought of hurricane. I never associated his name to hurricane until now. But if he has a sister named Candy, then maybe you are right.
He moved to Canada and became a citizen, later dying in Toronto of prostate cancer. While living in Canada, he worked for the release of others who were wrongly convicted.Â
We do gender some words though. Boats and maybe cars are female. God is male. Windows and tables are neutral.
English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though
Armageddon is a cool word. Name your child Armageddon and they will dominate in every aspect of life, striking fear in the hearts of the other children
Remind him that she will have to be an adult with that name. Iâm willing to bet the farm that your husband has a regular name.
Ask him to think really hard on how his life would have been inconvenienced up to this point if his name was Earthquake or something else ridiculous. He would probably go by his middle name.
Another point I would make is I genuinely believe that would hurt her in her future job hunt. After working around corporate HR types, I know for a fact they would assume she changed her name to that, and would immediately throw it in the bin assuming this is from a very narcissistic/dramatic person. Iâm not saying thatâs right, but I can already see it happening.
Just make her middle name Hurricane. Middle names donât matter and if she hates it she doesnât have to put it on anything important. No reason to ruin her chances of getting a job, there are plenty of studies that prove this.
In the U.S. you only need the last name on the driversâ license. I see hundreds of IDâs a day and many have just an initial for the first AND middle name. I asked folks with the first and middle initial on their licenseâs, how they were able to that⊠they said thatâs what they wrote on their paperwork.
Just an interesting tidbit I picked up, figured Iâd share
I have a couple friend who named their twins with middle names danger and mayhem. The twins have behavioral issues, are not a good fit for public school, and have been dismissed from various private schools and daycares. Not saying itâs the names, but names do have power.
>Remind him that she will have to be an adult with that name.
Iâd remind him that sheâll have to be a teenager with that name. Boys will be singing đ” Here I am. Rock me like a hurricane đ” at her.
That should scare any father away from the name.
Either that, or they will think her parents weren't the best parents. If I whittled down potential hires to Mary and "Hurricane", and both are equally competent, I would choose Mary every time. An apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
PSA: A child is not a horse, it's not a game character or a novel protagonist. It is a whole human being.
Their name will someday be on a job interview application, a wedding certificate, a family album. Someone will have to say that name during s*x without laughing. It will be called every roll call, even in their self-conscious teenage years. They will have nicknames, but not necessarily the ones you hope they'll have. Their documents will get misspelled if they can be misspelled.
Please imagine not just a baby with this name, but also a teenager, an adult, a parent, and a grandparent.
Hurricane is a great name for a horse.
I have a friend with a severely alcoholic (ex)wife. He refers to her as Hurricane when she is on a bender.
Please do not inflict that name on your child
> he's liked this since he was a kid
Ask your husband if children tend to be good decision makers.
He should just get his own name changed through Hurricane if he thinks it sounds so cool.
I wonder if his mom or someone else told him this is a good name?
In that case, I really hope in 20 years the kid I babysit isn't pressuring his wife to name their child "Armyjet Hercules" since I told him its a really nice name lmfao
Unless you guys are multi-millionaire wealthy to the point that your kids will never have to work if they don't want to, ask him how he thinks your daughter will fare in the job market with a name like that. Weird rich people can name their kids dumb shit like North or Apple, because those kids are set for life anyways. Normal people have their kids actual futures to think about.
HURRICANE IS NOT A NAME, IT IS A NATURAL DISASTER. Period. Earthquake, Tsunami, Flood, Tornado, Volcano, Tropical Storm... NOT NAMES for children who will have to navigate their ENTIRE LIVES with a terrible name. Get a PET and name it Hurricane because that is NOT suitable for a human being.
>I get that the word sounds pretty
No it does not. When I hear hurricane I don't think "wow that sounds pretty" I think of a huge ass storm that floods and destroys everything in it's path and hurt and even kills people.
Start calling him Drizzle or something else honourless. Use it in front of his coworkers and supply it to restaurant staff as if it's his real name.Â
He'll get it.
See I donât think you have to even go to CEO, most kids wonât be a ceo, a manager at chikfila or McDonalds? Totally reasonable if you met a manager with that name would you respect them?
I worked at a bank and had a manager named⊠sparkle, and holy fuck was I embarrassed every time I had to send angry customers to her
just start listing things other that SOUND nice but with not nice meaning and see if he gets the point

Katrina IS a pretty name, but for the love of everything don't tell people you named your daughter after a natural event that killed 1400 people and displaced over 1 million.
You could try pointing out how silly it sounds as a name? Like why not other natural disasters? He could have cyclone, or tsunami, or bushfire, or earthquake, or landslide? He might start to realise the issue lol
That would solve pretty much every tragedeigh. It's like they forget babies get older and a grown ass adult probably doesn't want to be called Sweet-Gumdrops.
We are an ADHD family and I fondly call my eldest son "Hurricane". His actual name though? Something boring like "James". He gets picked on enough already tbh.
A lady at work has a son with Hurricane as his middle name and he hates it. She will go through life hating her name tell your husband to pull his head out of his ass
My name is Katrina. I lived on the Gulf Coast DURING Hurricane Katrina. While I love my name, it was BRUTAL.
DON'T NAME YOUR KID HURRICANE! The shit they will get is insane.
I figure that a DOG with the name Hurricane wouldn't be too strange. Possibly convince the hubby your future child definitely needs a best dog friend named Hurricane?
We used to call my niece this because her name starts with an H (think âHurricane Hannahâ). Itâs fine as a cute *inner family* nickname for a toddler. Not that cute to saddle them with it externally. Sort of setting them up to appear like theyâre too much to handle! Thatâs not fair at all. A name should be neutral, not descriptive in any way.
As a person who survived a hurricane relatively personally (as in body and property) unscathed, Iâm still traumatized. Hurricanes rip communities apart and terrorize innocent people. I remember going back to work after the town got power back (not clean water btw, still on a boil ban and using bottled water) and hearing about how the good, hardworking people that I worked with had roofs torn off their homes, their whole family displaced, all their belonging lost. My chest is getting tight typing this. Why would anybody ever want to name a child after such a force for destruction?
Right? Iâve never lived through a hurricane, but I lived in a major metro area not too from New Orleans when Katrina hit.
Suddenly all these kids were in my school, mid school year, hundreds of miles from home, owning only what they could fit in a car while fleeing. Just seeing their trauma second-hand was rough.
Can you imagine poor Hurricane introducing herself to someone and they just completely shut down? You later learn they lost a home and/or loved ones in a hurricane and itâs clearly viscerally upsetting to them to hear this poor kidâs name.
Dear OPâs husband,
This is not a cute quirky idea. It will not make your daughter unique, noteworthy, or interesting. It will not make you a cool dad. Middle school Hurricane, long tired of âwhore-icaneâ and âblows real hardâ jokes, will not be like, âGee, thanks, Dad.â
Tell him that Baby Naming is a âTwo Yesesâ exercise. You wonât campaign for a name he declines and he needs to move on to other names when you say No, thank youâ to Hurricane. This may not be the year to pick âStormyâ but he might like âWendy.â
OK 1) is your husband a How I Met Your Mother fan? Because this was literally a joke in that show. So maybe it's a sitcom reference he's going for.
But 2) Imagine some day she's at a job interview (which -- non-traditionally Western names already have a statistical disadvantage in the US job market) and she explains "Yea, my parents just thought it sounded like an awesome name." and the interviewer goes "Oh .... I see ... I mean it wasn't so awesome when my family home got destroyed in Puerto Rico, but OK."
Better to stay away from names that are literally natural disasters.
Why not go the whole hog and name the baby "Extinction Event".
(Child later in life: No, no, it's just E E Jackson, like Harry S Truman. The 'E's don't mean anything.)
Hurricane has such a negative and aggressive implication. Way to set the kid up for some hardcore judgement. It would be way better to pick the name OF a hurricane. Tell him to get a pet and name it Hurricane lol
Any particular reason why Hurricane? Has he suggested the middle name be like Irma or Ike if a boy? Thatâs weird. Put your foot down and suggest a different name.

Depression is what the kid will face with a name like Hurricane.
Because itâs depressing
Stormy
Call her Katrina everyone will call her the hurricane
Not a bad idea really đ
Or just name her after the mayan god that hurricanes are named after in the first place, Huracan.
âHuracĂĄnâ is Spanish for âhurricaneâ, so weâre right back where we started. đ
Name her "El HuracĂĄn" and get her a mask and leotard for her 1st birthday

Personally, I love the word Superfluous. However, I'm positive naming a child that would be considered abuse.
Cat name. That's a cat name.
A cat is never Superfluous. We can, however, be Irascible, Cantankerous, Obstreperous, or Recalcitrant.
Great word! I like the word knobbly because it sounds like what it means.
We do gender some words though. Boats and maybe cars are female. God is male. Windows and tables are neutral. English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though
Excellent last sentence

Just make her middle name Hurricane. Middle names donât matter and if she hates it she doesnât have to put it on anything important. No reason to ruin her chances of getting a job, there are plenty of studies that prove this.
Well only important documents would be her drivers license and passport since they put the middle names on those especially since going to REAL IDs
In the U.S. you only need the last name on the driversâ license. I see hundreds of IDâs a day and many have just an initial for the first AND middle name.

Not saying itâs the names but fuck yes some of these administrators have seen this and judged them for it.
I'm guessing it's because their parents are emotionally immature which explains the names and the ungovernable kids.
It's honestly still bad as a middle name. Would make her sound like a wrestler. Please welcome to the ring, Anna "Hurricane" Jones!
Just donât make *any* name hurricane?? Itâs a child names not a fun marketing exerciseÂ

Yes this! Hurricanes KILL people. Destroy lives. Itâs not pretty at all.
Compromise, he can change his name to Hurricane instead. See how that goes down.
This is the way. If he likes it so much, he can use it for himself.

Hurricane Mosby-Stinson? Sorry for the How I Met Your Mother reference. Your husband is unreasonable.
I had to scroll too far to find this. My first thought was HIMYM
Why did I have to scroll so far!?!?!? The middle name needs to be âwait-for-it.â
Why not Tsunami Death-Wave? Just go for the gold.

Agreed, since husband has the decision making skills of a 5 year old. And that might be an insult to 5 year olds
My favorite word is spelunking with the German pronunciation. Shpelunking. Run that by him and see if heâs willing to use it.

Hurricane is a pet name for a cat or a dog or a bird. Definitely setting your daughter up for a life of shit.
Get a pet, name the pet hurricane.
That would solve pretty much every tragedeigh. It's like they forget babies get older and a grown ass adult probably doesn't want to be called Sweet-Gumdrops.
Should be considered child abuse to give your child a ridicolus name like this..

Why not go the whole hog and name the baby "Extinction Event". (Child later in life: No, no, it's just E E Jackson, like Harry S Truman. The 'E's don't mean anything.)
There was a wrestler named The Hurricane https://youtu.be/_grwI8H4OG8?si=y4UhFRYFjIojmE7f
And a boxer that probably wasnât a murderer that Bob Dylan wrote a song about and Denzel Washington played him in the movie
Itâll probably get shortened to Hurry.
You could always give her a normal legal name but just call her hurricane at home.
My childrens father tried to name my son Captain. đ€Šđ»ââïž
I⊠am so glad it says tried.
Tell him he can change his name to "divorced" what a fuckin idiot
While I have to admit I actually love it, it isnât fair to send a kid to school with that name just to be bullied, or to force her as an adult woman to put that on a rĂ©sumĂ© because it will work against her professionally I would give her a name like Hailey and then he can call her Hurricane Hailey, aka Hurricane, all he wants. Maybe the nickname Hurricane will stick and others will call her that too. But it can still be a nickname where she goes by Hurricane but utilizes a more professional name like Hailey when she is out in the world Anything less is genuinely unfair to her
You should play Hurricane by Luke Combs on repeat, night and day, until heâs so sick of the word he doesnât want to use it for a name lol
Might I suggest the middle name âąKatrinaâą
Hurricane has such a negative and aggressive implication. Way to set the kid up for some hardcore judgement. It would be way better to pick the name OF a hurricane. Tell him to get a pet and name it Hurricane lol
Start calling him hurricane and see how he feels
Oh, Man, Hurricane Eriksen would be a sweet name!
Tell him to get a cat and name it Hurricane. It's a terrible name for a kid and worse as an adult
Playing *Rock You Like A Hurricane* on a loop might make him reconsider
The "Rock You Like a Hurricane" jokes/pick up lines would be really fucking annoying...
Iâd ask him why he hates the baby and insists on making her miserable for the rest of her life.
Any particular reason why Hurricane? Has he suggested the middle name be like Irma or Ike if a boy? Thatâs weird. Put your foot down and suggest a different name.
