You picked them.
We’ve already been battered by Abigail, Barney, Clodagh, Desmond (who inspired this to give him some credit), Eva and now Storm Frank who is causing all sorts of problems today.
Met Éireann’s decision to team up with the UK Met Office and give all winter storms pre-ordained monikers has made these previously nameless storms more relatable and that bit more easy to curse when they f**k up your premises or flood your home.
All the names have been chosen by members of the public and they all seem to fit the bill.
So stand by for:
Gertrude
Henry
Imogen
Jake
Katie
Lawrence
Mary
Nigel
Orla
Phil
Rhonda
Steve
Tegan (how much better would Teresa have been?)
Vernon
Wendy

So no Quentin, Ultan, Xavier, Yves or Zara to worry about but Gertrude already sounds like a right wagon.
