"Storms are named alphabetically each season, they ran out of all the cool names years ago
This is the first time we've had names for the UK and Ireland "
If it starts off with a name on the other side of the Atlantic, will its name change? |

If it starts the other side of the Atlantic it will retain the name given by the US. If it starts mid Atlantic it will be named from the above mentioned list. There's one name there that I've never heard of before. I must look it up again |
