They named a hurricane after me and I believe she has been retire/Michelle. My middle name is up this year, Lee. Hopefully it will not be retired.

8/9 -- didn't know the year when they started using male names.

No 'canes named after me, as far as I can tell. And only one tropical storm - fictional: http://www.tmffa.com/old/r/revelations07.txt (with a character named Nimbus, must be a weather buff.)
