What happens when they run out of female names for calling hurricanes?
 

In a few decades, when they run out of english female names, are they gonna start calling them names like 'Emily - Z - betha', or maybe they'll switch to guy names.........?

what do you suggest they should do?

they will start using ebonics names

LaQuisha
Taniqua

They name them after guys names as well it's just not as common.. Hurricane Andrew wasn't a girls name.. Hurricane David hit FL in the 80's was a guys name..

They pre-name all of the hurricanes. They've got all the names set up through 2010.

That's funny -- a few years back there was a congresswoman from TX demanding hurricanes be given names that sounded "black".

cool link..thanks

hahaha, that would rock

i can't wait til we have Hurricane Marquina and Hurricane Tahnysha

They reuse the names every 6 years, unless it's a major hurricane, like Katrina. Major ones get retired. You'll never see another Hurrcane Katrina, Andrew, Charley, etc.
