For the foreseeable future I'm one of very few windsurfers I know who gets a hurricane named after them. No Jeff, John, Scott, Fisherman, or the Wolf. My bro Alberto in the Canary Islands gets some love, and my wife scores, but otherwise all I see is Bill and Chris (whose real name is CD but we'll give him a pass.) Hurricane names for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. Read 'em and imagine.

There a couple of names on the list that matches some blowhards who I know.

I wonder how many of these names, and which ones, are going to go down in infamy and what they are going to destroy.
On a more positive note, which names will we associate with good wind and waves?

It can have some hidden side benefits.
A really badass one in 1998 was named for me. Now, Google searches for my name point mostly to links for the storm, so I get a lot less spam than I otherwise would.
