Is it to late to name this "unnamed" storm now?

I say that because a hyperlink has been added to the "Gertrude" entry on the Met Office Storm Centre. Perhaps they were going to, but now they've changed their mind.

I think the Americans were calling it Jonas.
Hence the foolishness and confusion in naming mid lat storms.


So what happens when a hurricane goes extra-tropical and is significant

to be referred to as 'the remnants of hurricane X' as now?
