Replacement name for Jeanne?

[DoctorHurricane2003]

Of Note: Hurricane Janet was also the hurricane in which the only lost reconnaissance mission has occurred. They were never found.

Also of Note: Gaston will not be retired as he did not cause a significant amount of damage or deaths. (Note: all landfalling systems are not retired...usually Damage must be above $2 Billion and/or have at least 20 Deaths)

My list so far:

Alex
Bonnie
Clinton
Danielle
Earl
Freida
Gaston
Hermine
Inocente
Julia
Karl
L
M
N
O
P
R
S
T
V
W

(L-W left blank due to storms not yet finished/occurred)

because storms can cause a lot of damage and deaths...when a storm does this (i.e. hugo, camille, floyd...etc) the ramifications of stirring up bad memories for those involved by having another storm by the same name a few years later force a name to be retired and a new one thought up for that letter of the alphabet

Yeh but when she figured out what she wanted she did her do My choice for a replacement is Julie but I think that's taken...

Is the record for number of retired names four? Because if it is, we will tie it this year(I know Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne will be retired).

Juliette is already an EPAC. It was most recently used in 2001.

[Derek Ortt]

it will be a french name as the policy is to replace the retired names with one of the same origon

Good thing I have my book of baby names.

Let's see..........

Names listed as French:
Jacqueline
Jerrie
Jewel
Joie
Jolie
Julie

Out of those, I'd pick Julie.

[MBismyPlayground]

French names.......Jossette or Juliette

[Canelaw99]

LOL Juliet could be bad if there's a Romeo - he'd want to come after her, so we'd get to an R storm

I like Julie, Jackie or Jacqueline, Jasmine, Josette....Think they'll let us Storm2Kers get a vote????

[Cyclone Runner]

Aunt Jemimah

[tronbunny]

Warning, major smart-a** comment.

Jeepers-creepers-here-comes-another-one

[ohiostorm]

Something that we can pronounce without questioning.

[DoctorHurricane2003]

Jeanne is also an English name....it just depends upon how you pronounce it

In French, Jeanne would not be pronounced "Gene" or "Genie" like the English versions.....but would instead be pronounce "Je-AHN"


Your Daily French Lesson.

[MBismyPlayground]

Aunt Jemimah

That is why I like the name. Instead of Auntie Em Auntie Em, Auntie Jem......

[MBryant]

How about Jade
