I heard from a very unreliable source that hurricanes were named after women having their er... time of the month.

Needless to say, that's total nonsense. Funny nonsense. But nonsense nontheless.

Is it just me or were there way too many n's and s's in that last sentence?

Anyway, see czgibson's posts for the real naming pattern.

They're not always named after women though as both Ahmed and czgibson said.

Greetings,

mostly they are named after women.

What is it that has given you this idea?

Have a look at the lists of names given to hurricanes here:

The names again

As you can see, in each list there is a male name, then a female name. This alternation continues right the way through - there's no bias towards male or female.

Peace

I've never knew that 'Nova' was a girl's name.

And thank you for clarifying, Mr Gibson

basically, they are given intercahning gender names. While the first hurricane may start the the letter "a" and may start with a womans name, the next one would start with "b" and given a mans name. Then "c" would be a womans name and "d" would be a mans name and so on.
Then for another yaer the first name would start with a mans name and then female and so on.

They should name the next one 'Hurricane Dwayne'
