The letters F, C and I are now all very close in the amount of retired names. With Florence gone, F now has 9 retired names. C is still at 9 and I is at 11

If this is to be believed then 1964 would have seen the retirements of Florence, Gladys, and Katy.

Something interesting to note is that if Sally gets retired, it would be the third S name and therefore, the first letter after M to have 3 names get retired. Crazy how in just 15 years we could potentially have half of the original S names gone with Sam, Shary and Sebastien as the final three remaining.

With Dorian, Laura, Eta, and Iota gone, I wonder how the race is shaping up.

With this being taken into consideration, I wonder what changes there would be.
