Storm Babet is one of those things where they’ve gone too cute for a storm that will kill people. How can be scared of a Babet?
Storm Murder Bastard, now there’s a storm name to strike fear into your heart.

@BethanyBlack Storm BP Storm Esso Storm Exxon ... much better naming scheme
@BethanyBlack You know people would just be heading out into Murder Bastard because of the name.
@ersatzmaus less so than Babet, what’s the worst a Babet will do? Break your heart?
@blueorangeblue it’s not a PR project so that’s perfectly acceptable
@BethanyBlack Storm Murder Bastard could over-promise and under-deliver
@BethanyBlack True, true. Storm Bobbit though…
@ersatzmaus that’s a winner, I’ll call the Met Office
@BethanyBlack I firmly believe they started naming them because Scotland were calling them things like "Hurricane Bawbag".
@BethanyBlack @cstross we should name them after fossil fuel companies, and when we run out of names just add numbers. For example “ExxonMobil 3”
