Covid: Greek letters
Storms: male names one year, female the next.
Greek letters are not not being invented. If we ever get to Omega the variant will be called Omega, not made up nor selected from a list of words beginning with O. |

Apparently according to greek mythology, the god of storm was Aeolus and had a number of minor wind gods that were his subjects. There were each given a certain direction like North, South East etc. and they were Boreas(N), Zephyrous(W), Notus(S) and Eurus(E) and collectively were called Anemoi. The Romans called them Venti and they had a few more: Septentrio (N), Aquilo (NNE), Vulturnus (NE), Subsolanus (E), Eurus (SE), Euroauster (SSE), Austerulnotus (S), Euronotus (SSW), Affricus (SW), Ephirus (W), Eurus (NW), Circius (NNW).
No comments please as to why I had to find that. It's one of those days |

Greek and roman mythology often over lapped and they're fascinating stories so no judging for looking into them from my part |
