The recent hurricanes to hit USA have been given feminine names…Rita and Katrina… I often wonder about this use of feminien names to identify hurricanes…aisa kyun hai

Re: Feminine Names
Fortunately (or unfortunately) those two feminine names were destructive to say the least; otherwise, the naming convention does allow names like David, Bob etc. but they are very kind in nature more often than others.

Rita and Katrina were scientists who discovered those hurricanes.

I think I was the only serious poster in this thread so far as per the thread opener request.
Re: Feminine Names
Tropical storms are names in alphabetical order (starting the alphabet over each year), alternating between male/female names. Also they are named in advance, so it's just a coincidence that the recent bigger hurricanes to hit USA have been given feminine names...

Re: Feminine Names
it alternates b/w a male and a female name and they are decided in advance not by the scientist who discovers them as someone said. Here is the list for 2005 which grew to the end of the alphabets and is now on to greek alphabets.
