I think they might retire Michael as a name. I wonder how they decide the replacements? Clearly they will go with a masculine M name, but I wonder if choosing non/less gender-specific names could be the way forward for equality in society.... (Mason, Morgan).
Other possible approaches could be choosing...
>names that need to disappear so maybe if they are given to nasty hurricanes people will stop using them for their kids (Mustard, Moonbeam)
> names stereotypically viewed as non-threatening in the hope that hurricanes will live up to their gentler nature (Malcolm, Marvin)
> names stereotypically viewed as strong because irony dictates those storms will be weak (Mars, Maximus)
> interesting words instead of names to increase the nation's vocabulary (Malacoid, Mucid)
thoughts?
