It looks like that Shary has a 50% chance of formation, which would leave only three names remaining (Tomas, Virginie, and Walter). I was thinking, before going to the Greek Alphabet, perhaps there could be a little alternative idea, which would be to add X, Y, and/or Z names to the lists of Atlantic hurricane name lists, as was done in the EPac in 1992.
As for which letters, there aren't really very many X names out there, so I would probably add just Y and Z names. Here are some of my ideas for Y and Z names:
- Y names (male) - Yang, Yoda, Yale, Yancy, Yasser, Yanni, Ying, Yoshi, Young, Yul
- Y names (female) - Yasmine, Yumi, Yvonne, Yvette
- Z names (male) - Zhane, Zell, Zachary, Zach, Zack, Zephyr, Zhong
- Z names (female) - Zena, Zillah, Zola, Zora, Zoey, Zoya
Also, don't bother about Q or U names, since it would screw up the pattern of alternating male/female names, and the fact that there are very few names beginning with those letters (especially Q).
