Do you remember Boaty McBoatface?
So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

First names of CEOs of top oil firms - ExxonMobil, National Iranian Oil Co, Gazprom, and Aramco, who have personally lobbied against climate action or under whose leadership the companies continued to expand oil extraction. As a result their legacy can be directly attributed to elevated risk of destruction caused by more powerful storms affecting the UK.
This also fits the naming convention already employed of using common names

Can we start calling them ‘oil’ events?
I’d like the negative association to stick.
