The Met Office has ruled out officially naming a future storm "Bawbag" despite calls to do so from people in Scotland.

Bawbag, which is Scottish slang for scrotum, was the unofficial name given to a storm which hit Scotland in 2011. #HurricaneBawbag trended globally on Twitter, was used in official storm warnings by Scottish councils, and politicians went on TV to urge people to take care during "Hurricane Bawbag".

The Met Office recently announced a list of names for storms which will be used over the next few years and the first officially named storm, Abigail, is due to hit Scotland on Thursday.
