I was wondering..

Are the names for these 'Hurricanes' just randomly chose, and who names them?

They go in alphabetical order :)

Nah they're chosen by their personalities, like wind speed etc

I THINK.

i was gonna say what a easy job every few months there payed millions to come up with a name OMG i want to be one :P

So how is Gordon relative to anything to do with Hurricanes personalities or their speeds?
I thought whoever discovered that Hurricane, it was named after them.

When a tropical depression reaches tropical storm strength, it is given a name.

• alphabetical order
• alternate between male/female names
