Another hurricane, another group claiming name-bias for the hurricanes.

Why are we using people’s names for hurricanes?

A more effective manner of naming would be to use an alpha-numeric system that designates linear progression, hemisphere-specific, and dating: e.g., A*N-19 would be (A – the first hurricane) in the (N – northern hemisphere) during the (19 – 2019 cycle).

In an age where no-one wants to be gender-specific, why use personal names when a more logical, scientific nomenclature can be used to name hurricanes without offense?
