How come all the Hurricane name after girls?

Question

First who comes up with the names for all these Hurricanes? Second how come none of them are guys name? I have never heard of Hurricane John, or Hurricane Peter.

Answer 1

It alternates.  Remember Hurricane Andrew, and Chamil?

Answer 2

ur wrong actually

the names are of both gender and they alternate.

i guess the hurricanes are normally female, but what about Gustav, Ivan, Bill

ill give u the benefit of the doubt because u probbably live where their r no hurricanes.

Answer 3

it used to be they were all named after girls for a obvious reason(what part of a female does a hurricane looks like) but some women complained it was sexist now they just alternate between male and female names alphabetically

Answer 4

hey I lived in PR and we were hit with a nice lil hurricane with the name Hugo. So, you can take your female gender theory and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

Answer 5

I don't know who comes up with the Hurricane's names.  I know that they go in alphabetical order.  First a man, then a woman and so on.  They just had Hurricane Faye (girl's name), now they got Gustav (boy's name).  So the next one will be a girls name starting with an"H".  If it's just a small hurricane, you may not even hear of it.  Try this site - you will get more answers: www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/reason.htm...  

Answer 6

Depends if it is a herricane or a himmicane

Answer 7

Hurricane Gustav is a boy's name. All I know is they go down the alphabet and use them and when they have devastating hurricane's like Katrina they retire using that name. Check this site out for further information you are looking for it may answer some of your questions:
