Oooh this kinda reminds me of the ____ the Hedgehog thread.

There's none that I can remember off-hand that had the same name as me. I tried googling Hurricane Catherine, and was given a bunch of results for Hurricane Katrina instead x.x

Not a hurricane, a tropical storm.

I didn't see any hits for my name for an official storm, and I even tried several variations.

And I say official because what I do see (using my full name) is something about some hypothetical massive hurricane in 2026 that's supposedly going to be one of the most deadly of all time.

Okay then.

I don't and probably never will, haha. My name is uncommon and even if I do see it, I don't count it if it's not spelled the same.

Given my odd and not-best-known spelling of my name, it's unlikely you'd ever hear about a storm system that was named after me. I am happy my name never got used (or at least how it's spelled) because I don't want to kill innocent people with a disaster they cannot control.

Technically no, Nicholas was just a tropical storm, not a full blown hurricane. Which is...Good? Haha.
I thought we would have had a hurricane considering how popular of a name it is. They must not like repeating names.

There apparently was one in 1995 (ever so slightly different spelling from how I spell it, but same name anyway) that made landfall near Laos/Thailand/Vietnam. Was a Category 2 at it's peak.

Y'all remember Hurricane Sandy though?
.....Sandy is the name of one of my sisters

And I say official because what I do see (using my full name) is something about some hypothetical massive hurricane in 2026 that's supposedly going to be one of the most deadly of all time.

Okay then.
....why would they already name some theoretical hurricane that won't happen if, it even does (how do you even predict something like that), a decade from now?

And you think they'd name it something scary or apocalyptic sounding.....

There's been a tropical storm named Kim... but other than that, I didn't find anything from my actual real name for a hurricane just yet. :c

Apparently, there's been a dozen typhoons and storms with the name of Kim. I guess it counts as far as name goes. O_o

... >:( !!

Heh, it was on some random wiki site and it's pretty much the only place it's ever mentioned (at least, without linking back to that wiki as a reference, at least that I can see), so I'm guessing it was just someone writing something random. Still amuses me, though.

And yeah, something like that probably would need a scarier name.

In 2002 and 2008 there were Hurricanes named after me. x: I guess that's what happens when you have a common name.

From the wiki on the 2008 Hurricane:
In Canada, Kyle had relatively little impact, leaving $9 million in damages and no fatalities.
Damn straight I effected Canada the least amongst countries hit. x)

The 2002 iteration of myself ended before it even got to Canada, so~

Although it looks like both Hurricanes hit Central America / Eastern coast of the US
