Based on latest developments (90 deaths from Jeanne):

Jeanne should be replaced by Julia or Julie.

They should just go on and retire this whole list. Throw it away. Don't use it again.

Derek Ortt wrote:it will be a spanish name, since Ivan is a spanish name (pronounced ee-von). The US media Americanized it so they could use Ivan the Terrible

While the US media may be guilty of many things, this is not something attributable to poor fact-checking. According to the 10-606 Tropical Cyclone Names and Pronunciation Guide (watch out; this a PDF file), part of the NWS directives, the suggested pronounciation of the name Ivan is eye-van, which the media here has used. Ivan has been in English long enough that I think most people would consider it to be just as much an English name as one of eastern European origin. As LAwxrgal explained,

LAwxrgal wrote:There is a Spanish form...Iván

which phonetically would be closer to (using the same system as in the directive) ee-BAN.

Derek and others are right that the name must be of the same gender and of the same nationality. So those suggesting Ian, Irving, Igor, Iggy, etc. are on the right track. Of course, this would not be such a problem if the WMO region just decided to rotate through the names...

By the way, I think that in this case, if the Caribbean and Latin American media want to use the Spanish pronounciation and the Canadian and US media use a more Anglicized version, who cares? Of note, in the Western Pacific, although all members in the region contribute names, Japan does not use them and prefers referring to the storm by number, even though the RMSC Tokyo is responsible for naming systems of tropical storm strength or higher. Similarly, the Philippines uses its own list of names, claiming the necessity to name depressions that often cause flooding and greater public responsiveness to native names.

Heres a idea instead of retiring Ivan...Since we maybe running out of names soon...We should use it again just as long as its a fish! But use a new name when it threatens land?

Actually Ivan is the Russian form of John.

Ian...I think the new name should be Ian... named after my very destructive little nephew, whom we "affectionately" refer to as the evil demon spawn child of satan!!!! Sounds like a good name for a cane!!! :grrr:

Male name for a male name, and IF Ivan was the English version, it'll be replaced by an equivalent male and English counterpart ...

scary thing is, I actually have met some males named Ivory while I was in college... :wink:

As someone just said, the correct phonics for Ivan is (eye-van) the media was right. I don't think they would miss this storm just because of the many times in the past the media has gone out of their way to correctly pronounce the names of storms, Georges, Hermine and Gaston are perfect examples.

Sure, however names in the Atlantic basin are only English, Spanish, and French. In this case, Iván is a Spanish name. As many mentioned before, the proper pronunciation is ee-BAN.

When an Atlantic tropical cyclone begins to hit Russia, then they'll have the chance at naming some names. Until then, it's English, Spanish, and French for the Atlantic.

That's interesting that the Spanish V in Ivan is pronounced like a B.

LOL!

I just hope whatever they replace Ivan with it's a name we can pronounce and isn't stupid like Georges, Gaston, Hermine, or Joaquin(replacement for Juan). :roll:
