I hate that anyone named Melissa will now be associated with this potentially deadly hurricane. I have a friend named Katrina who changed her name to Kat after the 2005 hurricane killed nearly 1400 people.

Maybe we could just name hurricanes/cyclones after the oil companies and the billionaires who profit off them? Have to reuse the names a lot, but we can just add numbers, like we do for Kings or Popes: ExxonMobil III or BP XIX.

@kimlockhartga My name is actually Melissa, so I feel your pain.
@EmeraldRose oh I am sorry. We should not be using people names for deadly storms.
@kimlockhartga It's all right. I mean, I figured i'd be named for something some day. Too bad it's a catigory five hurricane.
