just realised why all Hurricanes are named after women..Its because when they arrive they are wet and wild and when they leave they take your car and house...

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

The truth is they alternate. A to Z in male names, then A to Z in female names, etc.

Which proves only that one pedant will bring a hundred more...

This is interesting about hurricanes:

*************************************

Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins again. Each name on the list starts with a different letter, for example, the name of the very first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and so on. The letters "Q", "U", "X", "Y" and "Z", however, are not used.

Often when an unusually destructive hurricane hits, that hurricane's name is retired and never used again. Since 1954, forty names have been retired. In 1996 Hurricane Luis was retired.

Names are genderised alternately, female-male-female-male etc
