You see a list of evil baby names (in the official list), and I see a list of authors.

So on that note, here’s my suggestion for Y: Yasmina

I think when we do get to Hurricane G, we’re going to have a lot more serious stuff to talk about than a funny name….

Okay, here is the definitive list of the REAL 2006 Atlantic hurricane names, handily compiled for you by the good people at the Anthropik Network:

1. Adolf
2. Bertha
3. Claudius
4. Damaris
5. Earl
6. Freya
7. Gaylord
8. Hagar
9. Ignatious
10. Jessamyn
11. Kunta
12. Legna
13. Meldanen
14. Nevaeh
15. Obadiah
16. Pawylleighn
17. Quigley
18. Rapunzelle
19. Snape
20. Theodora
21. Usama
22. Vaclava
23. Widanong

I’m making it an official Anthropik policy to use only these names when discussing the 2006 hurricane season. Example: “Hurricane Gaylord penetrated the city of Miami late last night, leaving behind a frothy mixture of wreckage that can only be described as ’santorum.’”

I’d have to go with Severus firstnamus, but hey, it’s all good.

Now, when the next hellicane finishes off New Orleans - whoever’s name hits wins a paleo popsicle. And a sandbag.

Seems there’s a preponderance of names ending in “a” or “ah”…

It’s based on names other people made up.

Jason, names you just made up don’t count. It has to be names other people made up.

Vaclava

Oh, and Snape? You totally just made that up.

No, I didn’t. It’s from Harry Potter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severus_Snape

He’s the bad guy. Only, really, he’s a good guy. Only now, he’s a bad guy again. GASP!

I’ll change it to “Severus” if you like, but “Severus” can’t so easily be followed up with “…ON A PLANE!!!!1OMG”
