Let's name hurricanes after terrible things like: Hurricane Comcast, Typhoon Volkswagen, Tropical Storm J.P. Morgan.

Or serial killers? Hurricane Gein. Or mass murderer dictators? Hurricane Pol Pot.

Edit My guess is that eventually they will be given gender-neutral names. I get that it is easier to track a hurricane if you give it a name rather than a number. The same is true of comets. There are things in outer space that we know only by number (right francopoli?) and without the personification of a name, they are largely forgettable.Or mass murderer dictators? Hurricane Pol Pot.
Now that's a great idea!
