- Ok no seriously Why are hurricanes given female names? (And male for that matter

Why are they given human names? It was funny the first time maybe but now it just seems mean to name that after actual people's names whose feelings might be hurt.
It's utterly bizarre. |
|
cause when they come, they are wet, wild and they blow like crazy and when they go, they take your house and car.

Name them after famous terrorists and people will definitely evacuate. Or better yet, just name them all "Hurricane Terrorism".
|
|
Because they have to come up with different names every year, so giving them human names is easier and more memorable. What would be a better alternative?

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all

Its stupid giving them human names like they are some kind of friend.
They should just be alphabets and numbers. Or make up new names. Hurricane George, typhoon suzy, tornado amanda. They just sound stupid. |
|
Yeah it's like we all laughed at hurricane katrina, but now we've got hurricane maria and irma... these are real names that people have, what are they just going to have to live down sharing a name with a disaster the rest of their lives?

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've". |

^ ^ Yes there's a rotation, but it still doesn't explain why they use human names that could cause people to be teased mercilessly. As you know kids can be so cruel...

they should let you suggest and vote for them on a year-by-year basis
i want hurricane fluttershy to be a thing |

When speaking about it after it is, it is much easier to say Hurricane Jose, then it to say . Hurricane hdsjfhi47

but they'd have to do one for every letter! the weather channel could hold the polls and 4chan could rig them, it would be great |

Last time I checked, Hurrycane Hugo was a male name.

Hurricane Maria sounds like a hurricane not a himmicane.
|

The original meteorologist to give them names was a man named Clement Wragge. He named them after politicians he didn't like.
True story.

For the Hurricanes with Spanish names it doesn't make sense for them to have female names since the word "huracan" is considered male. Which is why you say "el/un huracan" not "la/una huracan" it would also have to be called "huracana" lol

Easy way to identify which storm hit land on what date time, how much monetary damage it caused, how many people it killed among other statistics.

If you really want to know how people deal with sharing a name with a disaster, you could just ask people who have the same name as you |
|
Maybe they should be named after the 4 Horsemen. Hurricane War, Hurricane Death, Hurricane Pestilence, Hurricane Famine...
