LOL, who actually gives them names.
it's funny on the news, as something like "Hurricane Betty", it comes up with a headline on the lines of "Betty terrorises through florida"

It depends on the strength, that's why they name them, i can't remember how they name them by it's by the Strength,

They name it in order.

They go through the alphabet.

They do a male name with A

Then female with A

Then male B

Then female B

etc....

When at Z they start over...

Yeah! Imagine if a Hurricane was called something like, 'Hurricane Bob The 2nd'

I actually think they have names by the person who finds or reports the Hurricane. :\ I duno,
