When terrible storms like Harvey occur, it really does disjunctice to people sharing the first name with the storm.
I think they should just stop naming storms after people, to discontinue negative connotations with certain first names.

It doesn't matter, reasonable people aren't going to go and associate a person with a Hurricane.

@SnakesOfferingApples, maybe...what about kids? They tend to give nicknames...

Well yeah, most kids are still developing their mental process when I was in elementary school, I did whatever I could to surround myself with friends and to get good grades.( I was the new foreign guy and I wanted to fit in.) I never bullied anyone, although looking back at it I never had a solid moral compass.

Yes, the names give them more of a personality.

Unless you're talking about some dude who just escaped a mental hospital, I wouldn't worry too much about hurricanes being named after people.

I called it Hurricane Steve Harvey. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. (I even saw an image where someone photoshopped Steve Harvey's face onto a graph of Hurricane Harvey)

They shouldn't stop naming storm after people die tot he personality it gives.

It seems that if someone has an unusual name Irma, they would be out of luck right now.
