Frankenstien and Godzilla certainly sound more impressive (and dangerous) that Fabian and Grace! :o And let's change the H name to Hacksaw. :wink:

Agreed! But they are kind of fun to play with. I can remember news people here being tripped up by "Georges." Admittedly, it was a little difficult to get scared of "Claudette" and "Bill!" Of course back when they were all women's names, some seasons sounded like roll call at an old folks' home . . . "Camille, Edna, Agnes . . . "
