Hurricanes used to have only female names until the late 70s when male names were included. But who gets to choose the names? By: Cindy Preszler. Copyright Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. The NHC added male names in Six lists of names are used in rotation and recycled every six years — i. The lists of names are now maintained and updated through a strict procedure by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization WMO , based in Geneva.
For example, the first two names on the list were Arthur and Bertha. This year, the first two names were Ana and Bill. Tropical Storm Peter's swirl and sparks. Cool animation. The names are chosen from English, French and Spanish since those are the primary languages spoken in the countries impacted by tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin.
There are no Q, U, X, Y or Z names because of the lack of usable names that begin with those letters. The NHC believes the use of easily remembered names greatly reduces confusion in exchanging detailed storm information among hundreds of widely scattered stations, coastal bases and ships at sea.
The nomenclature also less confusing when two or more tropical storms occur at the same time. For example, one hurricane can be moving slowly westward in the Gulf of Mexico, while at exactly the same time another hurricane can be moving rapidly northward along the Atlantic coast.
In the past, confusion and rumors have arisen when storm advisories broadcast from radio stations were mistaken for warnings concerning an entirely different storm located hundreds of miles away. There is a separate list for tropical storms and hurricanes that form in the eastern Pacific Ocean. In addition, separate lists are kept for typhoons in the western Pacific and tropical cyclones in the Indian Ocean. Several names have been retired since the lists were created, including Andrew, Camille, Hugo and Katrina, just to name a few.
