Naming Huricanes....
I know they name Hurricanes and tropical storms after a list of names in a alphabetical order......But i feel sorry for someone named after a killer storm like Katrina, Harvey or Irma. I think in today s time of political correctness The National Hurricane Center could come up with a better naming option.

Can you imagine being a couple with the names of Harvey and Irma?

Because when you talk about them years later, everyone will remember a Katrina or Camille, but probably not a #12 or #22.

My name is Harvey.
A harikin with the same name does not bother me a bit, nor did the idiots that had to say stuff like "Oh no, here comes hurricane Harvey" when I would come into their store/home/office. It is no more damaging to me than when I was a kid and schoolmates would call me "Lee Harvey". You are naught but your name, and naught without it.

After WWII the practice was developed by the US military in the western Pacific to avoid confusion when communicating with the public when more than one tropical cyclone existed at the same time. By the 1950s it was adopted in the Atlantic where names were originally taken from the WWII version of the Phonetic Alphabet. By 1953 the list of names to use were changed to women names which were created yearly to avoid confusion between years. Over the years, men's names were added and then regional names common to the populations around the different ocean basins where the cyclones formed.
