There's a ton of good names from the 50's, 60's and 70's that they just removed from the lists for whatever reason and haven't used again. Of course they were all female names but still.
Amelia
Becky (I'd take over both Beryl and Bertha)
Dorothy
Edith
Evelyn
Gail and Ginger easily over Gert
Holly
Ivy
Jane
Jenny
Jill
Jodie
Judith
Justine
Linda
Lucy
Margo
Marsha
Mary
Molly
Nancy over Nana 8 days a week
Norma
Penny
Rachel and Ruth I'd take over Rina
Sabrina
Sheila
Shirley
Susan
Tina
Vanessa
There's even Roger from the Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet.

Maybe not the weirdest but here's my official request for the entire Gilligan's Island cast to be named Storms for a single year; that list would include:
Gilligan
Jonas (The Skipper)
Thurston (Howell III)
Eunice (Mr. Howell's wife)
Roy (Professor)
Ginger (the Movie-star)
and my personal fav - Mary Ann

I’ll go with the obvious: Katrina and Rita probably has the weirdest replacements given how close they were to the original names. For Katrina I’d choose Kendra or Kirsten and for Rita I’d choose Rena (pronounced Ray-nuh) or Ramona.

Given the replacement has to be a female name that probably should be Robyn.

Ironically, the same happened to 2023's EPAC replacements: Dora -> Debora, and Otis -> Otilio.

Not direct replacements, but 1979 Frederic -> 2003 Fabian -> Fred. I suppose if Fred is retired it'll be replaced by Fabiano.
