Not wanting to be unsympathetic to anyone hit by Storm Barney. But.... Barney? Is there any male name beginning with B that doesn't a bit, well, unthreatening? Hev & I just discussed this, and all male B names are essentially comedy names or the names of friendly uncles. Bob = case in point. Billy? Bertie? Brian? Basil? Benny? Is there any B name that you could really use for a villain? Or, indeed, a storm?

2014, a study came to the contentious conclusion that female-named
storms caused more deaths because less people thought they were
dangerous and so didn't take precautions. Still, "Barney"?
Roderick McKie Can't wait for the next one, Hurricane C.
Steve Bright Will Hurricane Fred follow eventually?
Felicity Harper Beowulf?
Tardy Byrd Wattinger Bryce sounds like a tosser?
Kev Sutherland Baxter is a good name for a wall.
Kev Sutherland So we, in fact, agree. No male name beginning with B - that any normal human would ever be called - sounds that scary?

Pete Renshaw Beelzebub, not sure how many little Beelzebubs there are running around the school yard. But, I checked, parents are going for Bain, oh dear. 'Storm Beelzebub will be hitting the NW coast of Scotland' might get you battoning down hatches Vicky.
