How Do They Name Hurricanes Out Of Interest?
 

Is it the same way they name stars after the person who discovers/finds them or what?

Just curious really.

after the most violent bitches in history

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

haha, almost...actually from what i hear is they start at the beginning of the year with a name that starts with A and continue down :) but they do pick bitches names LOL

they have a raffel and the winner names it after their mother in law.

edit: i meant to reply, not quote.

It goes alphabetically...they alternate between male and female names.

alphabetical order. they used to all be female names, but the feminists got upset, so now they alternate them between male and female names. IE:

Alice, Bob, Catherine, Daniel, Elizabeth, Fred, Gloria, Henry, Isabel, James, KimmyKim :winkwink:

You are 100% right!

They have an alphabetical list for each year planned several years in advance. The list alternates gender from letter to letter.
