My name is Misty. The day I was born I was supposed to be named Misty Dawn but my Dad got mad at my Aunt who is named Dawn so he changed it to Misty Lynn. Haha. I am actually glad because Misty Dawn is more common and I really love Misty Lynn. It means Misty Lake, like a thick fog over a lake. Every time I walk by a foggy coated lake it absolutely entrances me and I love that it is what my name means. Also, I have to say I am absolutely in love with all these very positive comments about my name!♡

I love the name Misty. It's unique and cute. I feel like it has potential to be popular. It's a weather type name & if you enjoy fog or myst. It can be such an awesome name for you. It's also kind of witchy which I personally love. I love the nickname Mis.

My mother told me that she wished she had heard of Misty as a name when I was born. She would have named me that. I am so glad she hadn't heard of it. I would hate to go through life with such a silly, cutesy name. Even though it would be a lot of work, I would have it changed.

Misty is a really cute name OR nickname for anything beginning with Mis-
I’d use it as a name but you can disguise it with the name Melissa if you think your parents are going to be upset.

Misty is a Pokémon character. She was honestly my favorite character other than Ash. Brock (that's also my brother's name) was a bit weird always crushing on Nurse Joy and other girls. May was okay too. Misty as a name is very pretty, it's a very pretty and cute name. I might not use it, but it's about the most adorable name out there.

I agree there is just something about the name Misty. My other name is Melissa and I prefer Misty as a nickname from Melissa as Melissa is too girly for me and doesn't suit. Misty has a magical naturey feel and no negative tones I think, which people would like, it never occurred to me to be trashy. I also like Tina as a name and Lana, used to like Brooke, none too grown up or childish which is better.

I named my daughter Misti Dawn. I heard a song in the seventies that always got to me about my first love. The song is "Misty Blue"... I decided if I ever had a daughter, I'd name her Misti Dawn! The best part is that my first love and I got back together and we named our daughter, guess what!

My name is Misty Marie and I'm quite fond of the name chosen for me. I have god beside me. I enjoy all the stories he has put with my name. I guess I see into the midst of things at times. But would I ever pass the name on? Yes... I was adopted and I enjoy every minute of my life... I feel there's a lot of meaning in the name Misty! And we all matter no matter how and where the name is used. We all have a part and we should enjoy what we have been assigned to. Don't leave your soul without a partner! Enjoy giving and receiving! Or the road becomes long and lonely... God gave you this to enjoy! ENJOY!

Misty sounds like a very beautiful name. I’m not one for nature names, but there are exceptions like Summer, Autumn and Misty, and flower names tend to be the best type. I love Misty air and it is very beautiful so this name is great. Misty from Pokémon may be somewhat annoying, but she is also pretty kind and one of my favorite Pokegirls along with Serena.

My name is Misty Dawn and I happen to love my name. My mom named me after her favourite time of the day; the time of the day when she feels closest to God. It is not "tacky" as someone said in 2008, in fact I get quite a lot of compliments on my name! But I guess it's all in how you wear it too. I prefer to wear my name as a unique and beautiful crown that makes me stand out from the rest; a crown that adds to my individuality and compassionate nature. I work in the medical field and it seems to be quite soothing to my patients and helps them to feel at ease. I love my name and would not change it for anything! I look forward to being an old woman with a "tacky" name then! ^_~.

My name is Misty. I don't like it when everyone always says I am Misty from Pokemon. Or when they say is it Misty out today? I like my middle name. It is Dawn, which I realized is also a Pokemon name.

My name is Alyssa, but my mother's name is Misty Eve. I love my mother's name, I have always thought it was beautiful and unique. She is most DEFINITELY not a stripper, she is a paramedic who is dang good at her job. It is not girly either and I think it's a good name for women of all ages. And it should not only be used on pets.

It's not my favorite name, but for an adjective it's alright. It sounds mysterious and earthy. This name makes me think of a young woman who has a green thumb and is careless, spontaneous, and is a bit of a hippie.

This thread had me laughing so hard! Yes! I agree with most of the negative comments about the name. It IS pretty hard to run in scholarly circles when you first hear my name. I was an exchange student in Germany and much to my chagrin, MIST is another way to say "dirt" or "crap". I've heard the stripper comment before and trashy as well.
But, it's kinda like the boy named Sue; it makes you know who you are so you effectively shut down those negative first impressions. It also gives you the capacity to laugh at yourself, which is REALLY important for successful adults. Not to mention, I DO consider myself a bit of the esoteric mystery that my name alludes to! :)

Reminds me of a 1980's teeni-bopper who dreams about rainbows, riding horses, and Carebears all day. Who paints her dog's nails pink and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up, only she is so vapid and silly, she just ends up getting married right out of high school. Not a very good adult name, in my opinion. Okay nickname for a little girl.

I don't think this name is too bad. However, I'm not keen on the fact that it's an English adjective rather than a noun. (I have the same feeling on the name Thankful--but I think that's an atrocious name to begin with, so perhaps that's not the best example.) Anyway, I would be much more inclined to use, instead of Misty, the noun Mist--or perhaps even Myst, which was a name I saw in Kresley Cole's novella "The Warlord Wants Forever" and thought it was really cool!

I must say, it cerainly is intriguing. Has an enchanting feel to it as well. And by the way, to those of you who suppose the name is "trashy" I've never heard of any stripper, or pornographic actress by that name.

It's a tad cute, I must admit, but a little too cute, and thus tacky, for a grown-up. It's very tacky when combined with Dawn, Autumn, Winter, or whatever could be Misty. It works better as a nickname or a middle name, as it isn't really one of those mature, sophisticated names, and it might lead to credibility issues.

One of my friends wants to change her name to Misty and I really hope she changes her mind before she actually does. I really dislike this name because it feels so insubstantial (and I don't mean literally). In this book I once read which name escapes me, this young girl was asked what she was going to name her girl. She said maybe Wendi (spelt with the "i") and the older man told her she had to give the child a "good, strong name". I agree, this name is just too flimsy for my taste.

There are SO many cats named Misty. Seriously, it's the number one most popular name in the U.S. for cats. My oldest cat's name is Misty, I've had her since I was two, so I've grown up with the impression of it being pretty, but for me it's only pretty for a kitty. =]
