ELEANOR HALL: The literary world is today mourning the loss of one of Australias finest and most prolific authors. (Typhoons are also given names, I believe.) Take a look at names for both the Atlantic and the Eastern North-Pacific storms and learn all about how hurricanes are named. For instance, I've experienced hurricanes named Bob and Hugo, and I know of others with names like Andrew, Felix, Ivan, and so forth. My final idea was to look at 'named' storms. Clement (Latin) and Latif (Arabic) mean 'gentle,' while Galen (Greek) and Placido (Latin) mean 'calm.' (One of the latter two would give that idiom 'the calm before the storm' an interesting little twist.) Returning to symbolism, the names Miran, Pace, Shanti and Solomon can be traced back to words meaning 'peace' in Slavic, Middle English, Sanskrit and Hebrew. When he sees a pelican mother being shot, Storm Boy finds and rescues the three baby pelicans and nurses them back to health. Storm name meaning is Tempest, storm and the associated lucky number is 4. In that vein, there are Helio/Helios and Ravi, sun gods from Greek and Hindu myth.

Next, since I was already thinking about grand-scale things, I turned my attention to the gods.

The Biblical names Anan and Anani mean 'cloud' and 'my cloud.' Urtzi (Basque) and Kalani (Hawaiian) are two names that mean 'sky.' Finally, on a more symbolic level, I thought the Slavic name Casimir, 'destroyer of peace,' sounded quite storm-like. Browse our list of over 80 unique nature-inspired baby names. Then I looked for names with meanings that could be associated with storms. But, unless my reader is going for a Phoenix-style family (e.g., River, Rain, Summer), these names might not work well next to Storm. My first thoughts were the dual-gender names Sky and Rain (and all of their various forms, including Skye and Rayne). Ideally, the name should be unusual, but not too unusual. The reader has a son named Storm and would like to find a related nature-name for baby boy #2, due this fall. I received an interesting question from a reader the other day.
