Btw, who had the idea of naming them? Somehow it makes them seem
worse.

They were named after a public comp. We get a male and then a female
name alternatively. It was said on radio 4 this week that the female
ones have proved worse (that is the ones named in USA which has been
naming theirs for years) but that comment did come from a man!

Abigail (a big gale) was particularly appropriate, but the rest aren't
with the possible exception of Wendy (~windy?), if we ever get that
far down the list.

Just wait till we get hit by storm Christina.


LOL! If it's going to be alphabetical, that one could be next ;-)



It will be Clodagh then Desmond, Eva, Frank, Gertrude Henry, Imogen, Jake.
