Having grown up in the south of the US, I have first hand experience with a couple of hurricanes. They started naming them after women waaaaay before I was born but I think evil_admin was around...1953. They use to name them like the military does the alphabet able baker charlie delta etc. And then in 1978 (I may be able to recall this if I try hard) they started including mens names...one of the backlashes of EOW. They alternate them male female as they are named.
At the begining of the year or the season I dont know which, some meterologist sit around and think up names that go through the alphabet (other than QUXZ) I am not sure how they decide whether a girl name or boy name goes first. If it is a hurricane of proportions big enough that you will talk about it for years to come, then they never use the name again...like Hugo.
