Which name list will retire all it's original names first?

[Category5Kaiju]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think we're going to get a List 2 season at some point in the future (maybe 2028, 2034, or beyond) that knocks out a lot of OG names at once. Like 2017 or 2024-style. After all, List 2 years tend to be destructive and (in quite a few cases) very active.

I wanted to wait until Melissa exits the picture, but with its current intensity and destruction almost guaranteed, might as well post it now.

Atlantic retirements by naming lists

I've compiled the lists by CrazyC83 (with my edits earlier) and AJC3 into a new format:

Melissa is assumed to be retired, while Erin is not (discussions here).

I've now made these naming list visualizations for EPAC and WPAC. Here are the tables for all three regions (with slight changes in formatting for North Atlantic).

I've completed these colored tables of naming lists for CPAC, Australian region and SPAC (Fiji/NZ) -- the remaining 3 basins where unique official names are not automatically retired (because why not).

Full photo album with 6 basins is here on Imgur. For the ATL, EPAC and WPAC names, see the quote above.

Australian Region:

Comments:

• The I curse also exists in CPAC!
• South Pacific is by far the basin closest to retiring all original names. Its List C only has two originals left, out of 24!!
• This is both because they cycle the entire list A-Z instead of starting with A every year, and more importantly, due to their very lax retirement standards (virtually every storm with land impacts has a high chance of retirement). List A has only been used 4 times, yet six names have already been retired 3 out of 4 times that they were used.
• The Australian region is similarly trigger-happy in retirements, but thanks to their current naming lists only starting in 2008, they don't look nearly as crazy yet.
• I just realized that Ana is on both the Atlantic's and CPAC's naming lists. In theory, with a tri-basin crossover storm, we can have two storms named Ana in CPAC concurrently.

Among the remaining basins, North Indian Ocean, SW Indian Ocean and South Atlantic (as well as the Papua New Guinea names in AUS) automatically remove every name once it's used. The only other naming lists for which such tables make sense are the Philippines names. I don't intend to make them, but can do so if there's interest.
