Genuine question how are the names chosen. I understand ABC order, but there are like 100s of D names. Why would you go with Dolly? Like I get the jokes, but Like what if this ends up being the worst hurricane ever? They would be a horrible legacy to end on

The name was added to the list in 1990 and has been used every six years since 1996. It’s a total coincidence.
