Stormy affair: Odisha families rush to name newborns after cyclone Titli

Stormy affair

Several families in Nayagarh, Ganjam and Jagatsinghpur rushed to name their newborn daughters Titli because they were born either before the cyclone's arrival in Odisha or after it made landfall. This is quite in contrast to what happens in many other countries. According to the US Social Security Administration, once popular baby names such as Katrina, Sandy and Andrew have lost favour in the United States after they were attached to hurricanes and storms that caused death and destruction.
