What do you think about these names?

Charley, Frances, Ivan & Jeanne.

Do you think they will be "names to avoid" for the next few years? Do you think anyone will name their kid after one of the storms? Crazier things have happend right?

I'm here in Tampa. I was out of town for the 1st 3 hurricanes, but rode out Jeanne on Sunday. When DF and I were sitting here without power and talking about baby names he suggested Jeanne. We had a good laugh over that! :) I was really liking the name Bonnie before that storm was around.

We rode out 3 of them (not Ivan) but I don't think they are going to be huge names to avoid...none of them are that popular anyhow.

With Jeanne - the hurricane list has it pronounce Jean...but everyone I know with the name uses the 2 syllable pronunciation.

I personally don't care for any of the names for a baby name...but I would bet someone in the hospital in labor used it...lol.

Aren't there always lots of babies born 9 months after blackouts? Maybe some people will name their blackout babies after the storms they were conceived during!
