Re: Atlantic Hurricane 2024 Names
That's fascinating! Hurricane Patty does sound less scary than Hurricane Ernesto.... But I wonder if Hurricane Ernie would have the same issues. Maybe they shouldn't use diminutives in general. Hurricane Patricia sounds like she means business.

I don't know, I think Ernesto is a suave, handsome, Latin-lover sort of name.Andrew was pretty devastating and that name is quiet and dignified and mild.
Agnes was bad too and that name just sounds like a grouchy old lady.And Mitch sounds downright wimpy. (Wonder how people's responses to Anglo names is in Spanish or French-speaking areas?)
