Comments and insights on the name Misty

"Mysteriously enticing like the mist on the sea, will never dampen your spirits, a friend she will be."

This name should be avoided in German-American families; in German, the word "Mist" means "manure."

Like other "weather" names, such as Stormy, Windy, and Sunny, this name peaked in the late 1960s to early 1990s.

Personal experiences with the name Misty

During my parents' honeymoon at a lake cabin, they watched the sun come up over the mist on the lake and decided to name their first daughter (my older sister) Misty. I always thought her name was very sweet and romantic because of the beautiful story attached to it.

My parents were at a wedding together, and my mom was pregnant and still hadn't picked a name, when the band at the reception played the song "Misty" by Johnny Mathis. My dad decided right then and there that would be my name. A beautiful love song from the '50s to the '70s.

My mother's favorite song was "Misty" by Johnny Mathis. She decided she was going to name her first daughter Misty. That's where I got my name! :) People always ask me if I've heard of the "Play Misty for Me" Clint Eastwood movie, and I tell them I've heard of it but never seen it...but that I'm actually named after the song used in the movie. Once they hear that, they automatically guess my age. haha

My mom and dad we're sitting on a beach in sunny side, my mom was pregnate, the mist had fallen over the sea, and my dad said,`` We should name her Misty... Kai`` So that's where I got my name! :3 I love the name, its creative, research shows it can mean stubborn, creative, sarcastic, and funny. Almost Exactally me :P. Misty kai means Mist of the sea :3

- I love my name!! It's 2019 and I'm 23. Since growing up, people always say "like Pokémon?" and I love water Pokémon and water types just like the character in the show. It's cute and anyone from any language can pronounce it easily.
People always assume it's spelled with a 'y' so this version is better than 'Misti".
