Hurricane Naming: How it Works

Hazel, Fifi, Cleao, Igor and Cesar may sound like cute hamster names or entries in the 1954 book of trending baby names, but they all share one commonality: they’re destructive hurricanes of yesteryear. But who gets to choose these names? And are these hurricane name-dealers following prescribed scientific criteria, or just drawing names of their dogs and kids out of a hat?

For several hundred years, hurricanes were named after saints, in a slightly gruesome reminder of divine justice. On July 26, 1825, Hurricane Santa Ana slammed through Puerto Rico with exceptional violence, for example. But by the end of the 19th century, some meteorologists began naming hurricanes after women. (No evidence exists to show whether or not those women were past girlfriends.)
