Re: What names do you think should be retired? (2024 edition)
I'm a South Carolina native, and I've been affected by many, many hurricanes in my life. I'm another person who doesn't care for giving hurricanes human names, because they can tarnish a person's name! I personally find the name Helene to be gorgeous, and I'm sad that it's ruined now. Maybe there could be a different way to identify them, somehow? I know that "1 of 2024" could be boring (and maybe confusing)...I'm not sure- I like Manipura's idea, though! Then again, people could just use the name on their babies, even if it's shared by the hurricane...teasing people are just immature. There are a few names that I dislike, and think they'd suit a hurricane: Hurricane Bolt, Hurricane Bramble, Hurricane Nyx, Hurricane Ultra (especially for a Cat. 5), Hurricane Vox, Hurricane Zax, Hurricane Dax, Hurricane Pax, Hurricane Jet, and (my favorite) Hurricane Pebble (that would be kind of humorous on a Cat. 5, don't you think?), for example!
