Quinn and Grayson and Xanto aren't just the names of the kids at your local Montessori pre-school who "can't have gluten or anything with GMOs!"-- they're also a few of the names that have been selected as The Weather Channel's list of 2017–2018 winter storm names.

Intimidating...? Not so much. Eyeroll-inducing? Definitely.
