Here are the 21 names of the potential storms that might hit Ireland this winter

Paul Moore

Is your name on the list?

It’s very likely that the names of Imogen, Gertrude, Henry, Frank, Desmond, Barney, Clodagh and Abigail will all suffer a decline in popularity during the remainder of the year.

Why is this? Well, in our opinion they’re all lovely names but sadly they’re also affiliated with storms that absolutely battered Ireland in the recent past.

If you happen to be named Conor, Holly, Louise, Susan, Oisin or Thomas then it’s very likely that all of your mates are going to be cursing your name very soon.

In an unfortunate development, these 21 names below will be cruelly linked with shite weather over the coming months.

No Teresa on the list, we’re appalled!

Here’s the list in full as revealed by BBC presenter, journalist and weatherman, Barra Best.
