‘Zoe’ becomes the world’s first named heat wave
For those saying it's silly and what's the point... Which one do you remember hurricane Katrina or the hurricane of 2005 ?!

hurricane 2017 Gamma or 2008 Epsilon are memorable enough and gender neutral in any language.

That's just details the question is whether to name such events or not

If my daughter was named Katrina or Zoe I would be very very upset. This is just not OK.

That's very silly... So when you name you're daughter you go over the database of hurricanes, serial killers, etc. To avoid using that name ?!

I bet you remember Delta and Omicron. They need not be human names.
