The Story Games Names Project

Compiled by Mischa D. Krilov and

Hurricanes are named primarily
to avoid confusion and aid tracking,
a practice several hundred years
old. The World Meteorological Organization,
in 1979, established six
yearly lists of names for Atlantic
hurricanes, used in a rotation. This
list only changes if a storm gains
notoriety as particularly deadly or
costly, to prevent the inappropriate
use of a name in the future.
Prior to 1978, hurricanes only
had women’s names. These might
be cool names for robots, programs,
or servers, or maybe clueless aliens.
