Indeed, "F" winds are scarce, it seems.

I live a few km from Fremantle, and its just our name for the local sea-breeze. Not quite one of the world's great wind systems.
I don't think the Maemo folks are seeking powerful winds, just named winds.

Is there another?
Even if there is, it's too late to change away from Fremantle now. Harmattan too is already locked in. However, should you find an "I" wind name you particularly like, there still may be time to campaign for it.
