In Hurricane Idol, names that have or will be used to name hurricanes are put into a contest based on what the judges and the other users of Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki decide. However, since Season 9, names that have not been used to name tropical cyclones have been submitted. Once the contest is complete, the last name that stands out will be crowned the winner of the contest and the most popular hurricane name of the year. Blocked users will have their names disqualified, but will be able to participate in future seasons if the user is unblocked. If you are blocked while the name submissions are ongoing, the user will be automatically eliminated and their names disqualified. Users must compete in one account only. If you try to participate in Hurricane Idol with alternate accounts or sockpuppets, you will get your names disqualified, and you may be removed from your position if you are a designer, moderator, judge, head judge, co-host, or host. You may also be excluded from participating in future seasons of Hurricane Idol. The name submissions period will start March 14 and end March 19 at 3:00 PM EDT. The names can be submitted on this page's comment section, the discussions board post, or on the official Hurricane Idol Discord server. Names submitted after the submission period will not be accepted.

(with 4 votes) Message from the Host Well this is the end of my first ever season as Host of a Hurricane Idol! I would like to thank FCX, Dynah, and the rest of the judges (SM, Oil, Cade, and Fabian) for helping not only me out but actively participating in each round, whether it be commenting on their names or eliminating others. Our designers, or should I just say designer, Lucas, pulled through with great banners this season after making his debut back to Hurricane Idol. Because of all these people mentioned, this season was a success. I had a blast running this season, and I look forward to the next season as I pass on the torch to another user who will become host for Season XVII. This season was based off the inspiration from previous seasons, merging various elements from those into this season that became the structure for it. Kudos to those ideas! To wrap things up, congrats to Cade for winning their first ever Hurricane Idol, as well as Akará being the first ever South Atlantic name to win a Hurricane Idol! That's honestly a big milestone. In addition, congrats to FCX and SM winning second and third place respectively! Finally, thank you all for participating this season, and even though 115 names may not be a lot, it still had a big impact on this season. With all that out of the way, I say goodbye to you all. Inferno, out! HURRICANEINFERNO | (TALK) | (CONTRIBS) | 4:55 July 12, 2025 (UTC)
