Please choose some X names for hurricanes.

[NNadir]

Now that global climate change is here, the world Meterological Society finds itself running out of hurricane names and resorting to alpha, beta, gamma, and so on.

I think we at DU can help them be better prepared in future years.

Let's vote on some X names for hurricanes.

I don't know if Tom Cruise believes that L. Ron Hubbard will come back from the dead, but he could be a big help here.

[ZombieNixon]

1. Excuse me,

but "other" begins with O. As in "other." Not X. :D

[NNadir]

2. OK the Xother. I'm not stealing a page from Nicolas Cage, am I?

[hfojvt]

3. I am fond of

xemasab, but what's in a name?

[NNadir]

6. I'm sorry that I've already named my sons.

I missed a great opportunity here.

[XemaSab]

14. .

:D

[Devra]

4. Xena- destroyier princess

:rofl:

[Giant Robot]

5. Xaviera?

[ironflange]

11. I can see the bumper sticker now

"I GOT BLOWN BY XAVIERA"

[no name no slogan]

7. Had to vote for the evil galactic overlord Xenu

especially since L. Ron took to the seas his last few living years to avoid taxes.

[Heidi]

8. Xaviera: the "Happy Hurricane." (nt)

[musette_sf]

34. hahahaha

you beat me to it... good one!

[Shine]

9. Xanadu. n/t

[arwalden]

10. Xmarksthespot

[In_The_Wind]

12. We don't need anymore hurricanes ...

perhaps - if we stop giving them names ...

they'll go away

[Theres-a]

13. If we get an unseasonably late one

in december "Xmas"

[Felix Mala]

15. Xmas

That'll get the Snake-handlers upset.

[NNadir]

16. I like that, but I think by December we'll be looking for Z names.

[Chovexani]

17. I had to vote for Xena

She killed the gods for crying out loud!



Yiyiyiyiyi!

[NNadir]

19. Are those little hurricane symbols on her bra?

She seems eminently qualified.

Given the horse, she is also qualified to direct FEMA.

[DrZeeLit]

32. Yeah. We had a LONG discussion one night, the result being name the

hurricanes after gods and goddesses!

I mean, will any little girl named Katrina have a happy life now?

But...

Zeus, Thor, Cali, Shiva (the destroyer, right?), Hera, Aphrodite, Hermes, and any others, especially the mean war gods... oh Mars, Jupiter!

None of this messing about with Wilma... what a wussy name.

Wham! would have been good.

[Reciprocity]

18. Other:Zara or Zed

[kwassa]

20. Xuxa

after the Brazilain (I know) television star

[kwassa]

28. self delete

[jus_the_facts]

21. Xanax

[NNadir]

25. Product placement?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. I'm partial to Xerxes, because it's the name of a street in

Minneapolis, just a few blocks from me.

Aldrich, Bryant, Colfax, Dupont, Emerson, Fairfax, Gerard, Humboldt, Irving, James, Knox, Logan, Morgan, Newton, Oliver, Penn, Queen, Russel, Sheridan, Thomas, Upton, Vincent, Washburn, Xerxes, York, Zenith, Abbott, Beard, Chowen, Drew,...

[Rising Phoenix]

23. Xolia

[NNadir]

24. Now that's a new one.

[AirmensMom]

26. XtraScrewed.

:scared:

[El Fuego]

27. Xerox - because it's the same thing all over again

[DrZeeLit]

29. That's good. Did someone add Xmas? and then Zeus!!!!

[kwassa]

30. X-Lax

Kreative speeling, I no.

[kwassa]

31. X15

Didn't it break the sound barrier?

[skids]

33. They should also do Q.

Quenten. Quinlan. Quinn. And my favorite: Qixote.

[northzax]

35. let's be honest

if we have another hurricane, only one name will suit: Xanax, cause we're all gonna need some.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Xoe...

like Zoe, but with an X...We were planning on naming a kid that. Probably won't happen now, but it's cool, I think.
