Thunder

Thunder is a name that brings a sense of awe and power. It's drawn directly from the English word for the sound following lightning during a storm. While more common in fictional and fantasy contexts—like the ThunderCats of '80s cartoon fame—it's rare as a given name. Choosing Thunder might signal a wish for your child to be bold and attention-commanding. It's a unique and daring choice fitting for parents wanting something out of the ordinary. There's not much room for nicknames, but Thunder itself is quite striking.
