It's ok, reminds me of Temple, which I kind of like now.
However, there is the -i sound in the second syllable in Tempest that bothers me.

I don’t think it sounds tacky, but it just seems...off as a name. For some reason I’m starting to like it after I read this.

I'm into Tempest lately too! But I'm at a loss as to what would go with it. It needs to be something equally strong imo.Maybe...

I don't think it's tacky, but it's definitely bratty - I hear 'pest with a tempestuous personality'.
I guess I'd get over it if I knew a nonbratty one.These are my fav of your combos featuring it

Tempest Ilma
Tempest Ilona

Not tacky. Just reminds me of temper. Also, tempest in a teapot. Tempest Irene is glamorous

It's not tacky - it's more in the vein of Prudence, than Stormy. I just don't see the appeal of it at all. For me, it evokes petty rage. Like Bluster or Ruckus. And it has the word PEST in it, like pestilence. And it hisses when it's said out loud. And it seems precious / pretentious because it sounds like an antiquated thesaurus-word, and reminds me of Shakespeare.

No it’s not tacky. I don’t like it though. Tempest Eloise sounds wonderful though.

Ohh it’s tacky! I get it though. Strong GP of mine for ages. It works great in the middle I think - almost too good, like Nightingale.I was cured of liking it by my unsavory next-door neighbor, who yelled at his dog Tempest all the time. He was so unpleasant that the name Tempest now makes me cringe. He also called her Tempie a lot. Tessie is nicer.Tempest Ruth is so spicy and good. It’s exactly what I want my soup to taste like.
