[mryamamoto]

just like the quiet and nerdy, school shooter/serial killer types, they create the most havoc.

[kevinfinnerty]

they need white male names to show the destructive and murderous behavior of white patriarchy.

you really think the globohomo vampires of the (https://wmo.int/) World Meteorlogical Organization (offshoot of the UN) is gonna name a hurricane "Hurricane Marshawn"

Also turns out there's are already predetermined and not just picked each time. Interdasting

The names given to hurricanes are pretty much already set. There are six alphabetical lists of names for Atlantic hurricanes, maintained by the World Meteorological Organization, and they are rotated through every six years. Therefore, the 2024 list that started with Alberto and ends with William will be used again in 2030.

Edit:

And here are the 6 lists
