My government name is on the hurricane list...aw geez

[irisblue]

Times getting hard

[hlthe2b]

1. "government" name?

Do you mean official "given" name?

Mines is not on the list, so my rage can be directed solely at TSF and his ilk.

[irisblue]

2. I am irisblue here, but not to my family

A name that is associated with a social security number and a birth certificate as proof of citizenship within the USA.

3. I haven't seen the hurricane list

so I don't know if either my 'gummint name" or my screen name is on it. I don't think either one has been used, at least to my recollection, but I'm fairly high up the alphabet, so...

[MuseRider]

although it is my first name and my parents chose not to use it.

[True Dough]

&ab_channel=SteveWinwoodVEVO

[Blues Heron]

15. Nice! Always up for some Steve Winwood!

This track was an excellent pivot into the 80s by Steve

[happybird]

7. Yep

Milton's gonna be a mean mf’er. I just feel it.
Going with Debby and Tony for my other two.

Was eyeing up Joyce, also. Had a drunken manager named Joyce years ago who stole my perfect, double-walled, 20 oz. travel coffee cup, which was also the most pleasing shade of dark pink (was a Valentine’s gift from my ex) and the sealing lid was superb. It fell off the roof of the car once (while moving) and didn’t even spill a drop. Best coffee cup I ever had, and they don’t make that brand any longer. So, Joyce is a bitch.

[BOSSHOG]

11. I'm not on the list

Hopefully none of them will get used. But thanks to billionaires who want more billions they might all be used. CONSERVATISM will not only destroy freedom, it will destroy the planet.

[JoseBalow]

12. There are 6 active lists that they rotate through

Maybe you are listed on one of the other lists? You can check the other lists here:

Also, there is a long list of names that have been retired because they were so deadly or costly it would be considered insensitive to reuse the name...
