The 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Names and our opinions...

#1 Postby RainbowAppleJackDash » Fri May 24, 2013 5:24 pm

In my opinion, this year's hurricane names are just so cool. I like Andrea, Chantal, Lorenzo, Melissa and Erin and Rebekah.
However, the stranger names such as Humberto, Olga, Dorian (Grey,) Fernand*O* and Nestor have landed. What do you all think. Rate the names out of 10!

IMO
Andrea 8/10
Barry 7/10
Chantal 9/10
Dorian 5/10
Erin 9/10
Fernand 3/10
Gabrielle 9/10
Humberto 5/10 (but it's quite funny?...)
Ingrid 9/10
Jerry 7/10
Karen 8/10
Lorenzo 10/10
Melissa 10/10
Nestor 1/10
Olga 0/10
Pablo 2/10 (Picasso)
Rebekah 8/10
Sebastien 9/10
Tanya 8.5/10
Van 7/10 (Savannah? Or I'll drive a van into THAT hurricane)
Wendy (7/10) I'mma go to Wendy's.

So what do y'all think?

This list in general has always been my favorite. The original 1983 list was just so much edgier and modern compared to the others. The list kinda lost a little bit of the edginess after the 2007 season but it is still my favorite.

My opinion is that they should drop the names and go with numbers. Something like ATL-13-XX

I can even associate the hurricane names with ponies. Here are a few:
Andrea
BREED: Unicorn (Andrea is a very classy name, that's why)
Image
Barry
BREED: Pegasus (That name is JUST SO AWESOME...)
Image
Chantal
BREED: Earth Pony
Image
Dorian
BREED: Unicorn (elegance, but can be a bit arrogant)
Image
Humberto
BREED: Unicorn (Classy but bizarre name, and that's why I made him have Fluttershy's hairstyle...)
Image
Olga
BREED: Alicorn (Royal-like name)
Image

What d'all guys think?

That's a great idea, instead of referring to Hurricane Katrina we could all say "Wasn't Hurricane ATL-2005-11 something else?" Also: "EP-2009-01 was a big rainmaker, shoot". The point of using names is so people can remember them, numbers are bland; that was the whole purpose from the start.

The pony Barry kinda looks like this guy Soarin'
Image Agreed?

IMO, if Melissa had to be a pony, she'd look like her, but with pink colours and not yellow:

Who agrees?
