Well, storm #24 is set-up to be Charlie -- just like last year's Charley, but with the -ie instead of the -ey at the end. That does set up all kinds of debates as to whether or not to go with the name...and since there's no way of telling what a given storm is going to do beforehand, plus that it develops so late in the season when any significant development is highly unlikely, I would imagine it would be called Charlie. Unless, of course, they decide to substitute a new name for it on the fly, which I wouldn't advocate because that would be sure to draw some unnecessary criticism upon the NHC for "holding storm information from the public" beforehand. I don't see any way around it, unfortunately, but it would be a very touchy situation -- particularly if it were to hit Florida.

It probably would've been smartest to never have a name in the main lists that is similar to the phoenetic alphabet, particularly early in the lists, but it's not been often where we've even thought we might need to go to more names for more storms.
