Weather names for every forecast
17 names · 13 girls · 4 boys · records through 2025
Weather words make unusually durable names because they carry a picture and no biography — nobody has to be told what Storm or Rain means, and neither belongs to a generation.
This guide has 17 names: 13 girl names and 4 boy names. A curated set of weather and sky words matched against the latest US records; only names in real use appear. Built from US Social Security birth records through 2025. Tap + beside any name to keep it on your shortlist as you read.

The list splits by temperature in a way the ranks make visible: the warm words (Sunny, Dawn, Summer) have long American histories, while the dramatic ones (Storm, Tempest, Blaze) are recent arrivals.
