Fun fact: The famous actor Idris Elba's real first name is actually not "Idris," it is "Idrissa." :P

I see they are now using the more widespread pronunciation of Beryl.

I remember at one point years ago the pronunciation guide had Beryl rhyming with Earl, which is the way some people in the rural South say it. :)

You know, sometimes I question some of these names :lol:

Like "Beryl?" They couldn't do "Brittany" or "Brianna?"

Or "Patty" (like a hamburger patty or Krabby Patty or, better yet, "Patricia" but shorter)? I mean, it's almost like they could have gone with "Paige" or "Phoebe"...

I mean, the names are the names and there's nothing we can do to change them unless they get retired as destructive, powerful storms. But I do occasionally wonder how some of these names exactly even found their way onto the Atlantic naming list. :)

Beryl is a jewel name mostly given to females. It's like the names Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Emerald, Amethyst, Jade, Opal, etc (some of those have been used for tropical cyclones).

Oh come on. Beryl is one of the original names from the six rotating lists created when they added male names. So it was chosen in 1979. The people who chose the names in 1979 were almost surely male meteorologists with average age of at least 50 --meaning they themselves were born around 1929. Brittany and Brianna had both just recently been created as girls' names (both still ranked below the top 300 in 1979) and only people who knew very young girls were likely to have even heard of them at that point. And remember this was well before we had the SSA list on the Internet. So the people who came up with the 1979 lists were way more likely to know a Beryl personally (though even then it would have been one of their mothers or aunts, probably) than to know a Brittany or Brianna. :)

Question - since when does the name "Kyle" have more than one syllable? "Ky-ull"??? What about words like "pale" (pay-ull) or "trail" (tra-ull). Ridiculous. How about "Kile" for "Kyle"?

Might have even been chosen a little bit sooner than that, like if they created the lists a year ahead or something. I don't know exactly when the decision to add male names was made. (Fun fact: The EPAC started with male names a year earlier than the Atlantic.)

1979 was when the Atlantic began using male names (I think there were a lot of complaints about how just using female names was sexist and unfair).

Also, Cleveland Kent Evans has a good point, I actually didn't really consider the fact that Beryl is a somewhat outdated name that would have been more common and familiar in 1979, especially with how many of the WMO members would be male and aged over 50. I think my Gen Z bias is being a bit forceful here :P

Ever heard of accents? Like that one thing where things are pronounced differently in different places?

This is the EXACT thought I had reading through the list! Maybe they're trying to tell us the next "Ky-ull" will form from an Upper-Level-Low mixing down to the surface :wink:

No, I have never in my life heard of Kyle being pronounced with 2 syllables.

Well, take it up with the NHC and WMO then.

As the resident gemologist Beryl is a group of gemstones. Most common are Emerald (green), Aquamarine (blue) and Morganite (pink). Never met anyone named Beryl though.

Yes, I've heard of accents, but accents are not considered for a pronunciation guide. For example, if there was a storm named "Mark", the pronunciation guide would not say "Mock" for someone in Boston. Kyle is a single syllable name.

That's just what kind of names were common back in the 70s. I'm sure the common names now will sound weird in the 2070s
