2006 Hurricane Names

Alberto
Beryl - How many folks will mispronounce it?
Chris - Too informal
Debby - too informal, ending in Y.
Ernesto -
Florence - not bad... but seems odd. better than just "Flo". I fear news puns like "go with the flo".
Gordon - Reminds me of the cool neighbor on sesame street, or Batman's Commish.
Helene
Isaac - Biblical. Sounds dangerous.
Joyce - reminds me of a whiny ex-coworker.
Kirk
Leslie
Michael
Nadine
Oscar
Patty
Rafael
Sandy
Tony
Valerie
William

I don't know. Hurricane Nadine? Too many N-A sounds. Hurricadine? I have similar issues with Helene. Also, Chris, not Christopher?
Bold ones, I like, Italics I think need rethinking.

Cooler than say..."Patty." Although it's not wise to mock hurricane names. I once got my butt kicked by Hurricane "Bob."

Queen Beryl was the first season antagonist for the Sailor Moon series so I fully expect to feel its wrath.

BRING it, 2006 Hurricane Season, BRING IT! -shakes fist at sky-

Dear Beryl, bring it to her, but leave me the heck out of it!

Love,

Skewered huh? Well I for one hope I didn't help turn you into a Scott-kabob! Tell me who or what did this to you and I'll beat the stuffing outta of them or maybe mind my own business.

well, wounded but not dead. :D

I twisted my ankle a bit on the way out the door this morning, dodging Newt. No beating on the orange kitty, he didn't mean it!

I'd never touch a hair on that orange kitty's head or anywhere else on him except maybe to give him a squeeze!

Good! He seemed a bit remorseful about it, or was just continuously snuggly before I left fo the day.

Well I think this is where the language shows its age---we are talking about an age where being wounded with an armament means being skewered by a sword pretty much---so the modren adaptation could have quite a few translations I suppose. I dunno we've established I'm nary a latin scholar myself!!! I need to pull out my old latin books! Difficile est tenere quae acceperis nisi exerceas.

I didn't know there was a hurricane Nadine. I have no doubt it caused less damage than other hurricanes. The name denotes calmness till you piss her off! LOL

Nadine seems so southern-bellish!

From: [identity profile] acoolsecretary.livejournal.com
Yes it does. My father was from a small town in Texas (is that still considered southern?)and so all us girls received names like this.
Nadine
Georgine
Darlene...and sadly, I often fall into a southern accent because my step-father was born and raised in South Carolina. Go figure.

OR OR OR JEFF GORDON!!! VARRROOOOOMMMMM

William- hehe thats my boyfriends name! Bahaha

How about Hurricane Cassidy! (my kid)


Isaac - Biblical. Sounds dangerous. *giggle* I think this on is my fav, I did not look at it as being dangerous.

Ill make my prediction right now... Ummm Michael will be the worst one. Just because men by that name have certainly proven to be pretty disasterous people :p Book mark this ;)
