2006 Hurricane names

[anart]

Alberto Helene (unused) Oscar (unused)
Beryl (active) Isaac (unused) Patty (unused)
Chris (unused) Joyce (unused) Rafael (unused)
Debby (unused) Kirk (unused) Sandy (unused)
Ernesto (unused) Leslie (unused) Tony (unused)
Florence (unused) Michael (unused) Valerie (unused)
Gordon (unused) Nadine (unused) William (unused)

These are the upcoming tropical storm/hurricane names for 2006. I hate to admit it, but, I think I would have a real problem losing all I own ( or losing my life ) to a hurricane named: Debby, Joyce, Patty, Sandy, Tony, Chris or Nadine. Now, Leslie, Kirk and Valerie aren't front runners either, but at least they aren't either derivatives of longer names or names out of a John Waters movie. (I love John Waters, by the way, but who wants to get hit by hurricane Nadine?)
Granted, this thread probably lacks long-standing value, but I just had to point this out because, as most things these days, it just seems surreal.

Haha..Hurricane Tony...Sounds either like a wrestler or a Brooklyn mobster.
....and Hurricane Flo ??? I'm not even gonna touch that one.

Who comes up with these names anyway? Although Ernesto has some 'swing' to it: A Latin-American Hurricane ;)

I have a feeling they will have to come up with some extra names, seeing how extreme the weather is becoming, I figure there will be more tropical storms / hurricanes this year, more than there are letters in the alphabet.
