Just when you had the pronunciation down...

For Etienne, Phomochan and Uiagalelei, along comes Isaias!

Whoever chooses the names of these hurricanes needs to be fired. If they want to know why, just say "Isiases". Hope I spelled that stupid name correctly. Nine months from now, a lot of babies will be named that. Unfortunate for the kids.

Hope this helps.

Hurricane Isaias is pronounced ees-ah-EE-ahs, based on the Atlantic Basin Storm Name Pronunciations guide.

Hurricane namers should still be fired.

I Think Isaiah Would Have Sufficed

Found this tidbit on the Wild, Wild Web:

Isaias seems an interesting choice for the name of a hurricane considering that, according to popular name origin websites, it means “God is my salvation.”

Isaias, pronounced ees-ah-EE-ahs, is the Spanish-Latin derivative of the Hebrew name Isaiah, a prophet in the Old Testament tied to both Jewish and Christian religions.

In 2018, Isaias ranked 510 among baby names in the U.S., according to Social Security data. It was at peak popularity in 2009 when it ranked at 481, which represented “0.027 percent of total male births” that year, the data showed.
