If you could name a Hurricane...

[jIMOh]

Earl is a good name for a Hurricane... I was curious if anyone ever thought of a name for a Hurricane which was not used.

I have not seen a Hurricane James in a while LOL
here was a list
A hurricane named after you? | Hoboken411.com

For example it would be funny if they named the Hurricane God (maybe ironic is a better term than funny).

How about Hurricane Ghandi.

Any other names they need to consider?

 

[audreyh1]

How about - Furiosa! That would be a good name. Don't know if it is a real name though.

My name was retired in the 1950s, I think.

Audrey

Dunno, but I always said that if I ever owned a racehorse I would name it Nad. I can hear the degenerate gamblers in the stands now: "Go Nad! Go Nad!"

Actually, you can apparently have a European windstorm named after you. A year or two ago Windstorm Kyril (sp?) did a lot of damage and one of the reinsurers I own a chunk of mentioned that the name rights were apparently bought by the family of a Hungarian dude who had passed away. Seems like an odd way to memorialize someone, but...

They already have the names selected through 2015:

The juvenile in me would like to see one named "cornholio" after Beavis' alter ego..

 

[Purron]

How about Hurricane Khan??

Me thinks it's time for a Hurricane Party! Lots of good storm songs out there to provide a soundtrack. Yeah, you guys know how Hurricane Purron always loves a musical theme

Even though W2R's a teetotaler, I put her in charge of mixing up the Hurricanes. Hey, she's from New Orleans. Say no more

Would love to see the news anchors talk about that one with a straight face.

 

[bbbamI]

Ok...I'll play Purron.

Yeah, but, but, but.... I don't drink! And I wouldn't have the slightest clue about mixing even the simplest of drinks. Oh well!! Maybe UncleMick can take over bartending duties.

 

[Purron]

Good one! How 'bout this oldie goldie?

Yeah, I know you don't drink W2R. You just got somethin' special in your soul. Plus, you need a sober person to mix up the beverages right. We'll get ya a recipe book

 

[bbbamI]

My favorite tune sung by Lena. Such a beautiful, talented woman.

 

[W2R]

OK!! I can follow recipes. Besides, I won't have to drink them.

If the devil is coming, a friend suggested hurricane Lucifer. Thought that was creative...

 

[MichaelB]

That’s easy ... Hurricane Leila. Our 18 month old granddaughter. At least that’s the name she got after spending a 4 day weekend with us while her parents were off at a wedding.

She is most dear to my heart, but after she left the house looked, and we felt, like a hurricane had just passed thru. And she’s coming back in October for another long weekend.

 

[ronin]

How about "Wendy"?

 

[HFWR]

I'd name one after my ex-wife, "Plaintiff"...

 

[KB]

One of my friends refers to his xwife as the Plaintiff. Cracks us up when he does.

 

[Nords]

I'm married to a meteorologist, and we've always referred to our kid as "Hurricane [her name here]". One day it occurred to us to look up that hurricane, and it turned out to be so horribly & unpredictably destructive that they retired the name.

When she got old enough to understand our joke, she Googled the phrase and was highly insulted. Worked like a charm...

I think it's a lot easier to name your kids from the hurricane lists (and much more appropriate) than to have to search through those 10,000-name baby books.

 

[obgyn65]

What about "RetireEarly" ?

 

[WhoDaresWins]

How about Goneril or Regan? Or maybe Jezebel or Salome? I remember some scary female names from my favorite BBC production too: Livia, Drusilla and Agrippina. Or...Medusa!

 

[brewer12345]

Moll Flanders?
