Out of your "attractive" list, the names Darby, Amanda, Jimena and Marie sound more attractive-sounding to me.

I'm fond of the 2022 list due to it being 1) the naming list used in the first year I ever tracked hurricanes in my life (2010) and 2) it overall sounds like one of the most attractive Atlantic naming lists. I'm fond of 2019 too for basically the same reasons you listed.

For the strongest of 2018, I'll go with Gordon, Helene, and Michael all reaching C4+ intensity. Kirk and Rafael reach C3. Helene is a record-breaking 205 mph/879 mbar monster (see the Atlantic betting pools for more info).

Agreed, the most attractive names should be in basins with large swath of ocean like the EPac. My personal favorite EPac lists are 2018 and 2020 - they seem to have somewhat "sexier" sounding names on average (to me).

2017 was also a lazy year for me despite graduation and turning 18. :P 2018 should be less lazy for me...

I had a great new year, celebrated it with family! I watched the Times Square Ball Drop on TV and we all celebrated when it reached the strike of midnight.
