I don't like Debbie...sounds like one of those mean '60s hurricane chick names (Betsy, Camille, Carla, etc). Sometimes that just doesn't pan out, but every time I look at the list of names, those old '60s chick names just jump out at me (I didn't like Rita or Wilma on the name list last year...but I didn't find Katrina too threatening. Oops!).
I also don't like Isaac. Maybe because of the book "Isaac's Storm" by Eric Larsen. For those who don't know...the book is the true story of Isaac Cline - Texas' chief weatherman and Galveston resident who dismissed any storm threat to Galveston and rejected the idea of building a storm surge wall...in 1900. That very year, the great Galveston hurricane swept in killing as many as 10,000 people, destroying the city - Isaac's house was erased and his wife killed in the storm he refused to believe could impact Galveston.
I don't like William either, because it sounds like a Cat 5 potential name...but I am hoping my prediction of 19 named storms this year will prevent William from getting his chance.
Gordon I would call a wild card...after his last performance 6 years ago, weaving, turning, u-turning, passing through the same area twice, etc...you just don't know what to expect from him this time!
I'll always worry a bit about the 'A's, 'C's, and 'F's in general...there have been 9 retired 'C's...and 7 each retired 'A's and 'F's...the top 3 retired letters.

For me Only Issac really stands out. I say this for 2 reasons,
1. The I storm has traditionally been strong Isabel, Ivan, Isidore, etc.
2. Issac has that biblical ring to it.

My guesses which are ALWAYS wrong - Chris and Issac.
NO KIDDING!!! I thought I was the only one that noticed a lot of the big storms this year all ended with an "A." Makes me leery about Andrea, Melissa, Olga, and Tanya for 2007.
Oh whoops, we're just focusing on 2006 for now. For 2006, I say Ernesto, Joyce, and Michael. Those three names just don't sound right to me at all.
