I get the feeling, Ed, that it'd get retired as the particular name in the phoenetic alphabet without the year, but that we'd see some pressure towards a move to a rotating list of names, starting where you left off the previous season. It's not as easy to remember as A-Z, but it does have precedent (Western Pacific & elsewhere) and doesn't bring up as many pesky questions about why all letters don't have names, why we even need another list if we run out, and so on. It'd be a major shift, but I'd expect to see some pressure that way if it came to that.
