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. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

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?

Its stupid giving them human names like they are some kind of friend.

^ ^ 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...

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

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
