User blog:ThatBlindMouse100/Predicting the year of birth based on first name alone using a calculator... USING THE OFFICIAL NHC HURRICANE NAMES.

Hello everyone!

Just woke up from a 7 hour nap (it's 12am on a Friday night where I should be off to the clubs with friends but I'm too tired to do anything ahaha) after getting no sleep last night due to a group assignment... ah well.... Easter break is finally here though!

Anyway back on topic, I keyed in some official hurricane names designated by the NHC into Randy Olson's Name Age Calculator which predicts the year of birth of someone given their first name alone using a special algorithm based on Social Security records in the US. Some results were as expected and others were a little bit more shocking.

I had also thrown in some random names such as Aiden for comparison with the hurricane names. Which ones took you by surprise, and which ones didn't surprise you at all?

(N/A means no data available for those names).
