"Isaias" is derived from the name of the Jewish prophet at least.

Normal would be any name in the top 50 for American names between the years of 1950 and 1990.

It’s the Spanish version of Isaiah. Before you get back onto your soapbox, since Atlantic hurricanes also hit Spanish countries like Mexico or Cuba, why can’t they have Spanish names in the mix (they also use French, but not Dutch)?

That wouldn’t be a long enough list. There are 126 Atlantic names, 6 for each letter, and 132 Eastern Pacific names. And why not include popular Mexican, Central American, Caribbean, Lucayan, and Bermudan names too?

nor·mal
1.conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.


For JayZee "normal" is a very loaded word. For many people I guess. It is very important to such people that things that are rare still be considered normal. Especially things pertaining to people.

You mean name? Names like Heinrich and Giuseppe are not normal to me but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with those names. They are just uncommon in the US.

I can accept that. I don't have an exceptionally normal name for Los Angeles by that definition. My name is mispronounced all the time. But with so many people from everywhere and so many not having a good education, that's probably common for most names.

Ok. NOAA is a US agency.

I have no problem with hurricane names. They could name one Shaka Zulu and I don’t care. I came here to rebut PC where words become offensive and are replaced with words that either mean the same thing or bizarrely sometimes the opposite.

But why attribute Spanish names to PC, when they are more obviously attributable to the fact that many people (perhaps even more than half?) who get afflicted by Atlantic hurricanes speak Spanish.

For the one or two of you who actually care, Isaias replaced Ike in the rotation in 2014.Of course with that name, led to jokes like this:



The sign I saw on TV coverage (but couldn't find an image of): "Go away Ike, Tina isn't here" 😂

I didn’t know what you mean. I have no issue with Spanish names for hurricanes and I’m not saying that using Spanish names is PC. My entire point was JayZee’s confusion regarding the definition of normal. Unusual names are by definition not normal.

IAWTP. I don’t know if “Isaias” is a normal name, I just know it’s Spanish.

Nowadays saying “Spanish” instead of “Latinx” is a hate crime.

Exactly....I have no idea of that March 2nd storm in 2018 that knocked my power off for 2 days & others for more than a week. Anytime it's mentioned to me it's always "that storm a couple of yrs ago".

Winter storms need no names.
