When did the us government start using womens name to name hurricanes?
Using only women's names for hurricanes became the fashion after a 1941 novel by George R. Stewart called Storm. (In 1953, the U.S. National Weather Service, which is the federal agency that tracks hurricanes and issues warnings and watches, began using female names for storms.)





In 1979, names of both genders were used for Atlantic hurricanes after eastern Pacific storms began to use male and female names.
Reply:Men's names were not added until 1979. The use of women's names were standardized by the National Hurricane Center in 1953. Before that they were named for where the storm hit land up until 1950 when they started using the phonetic alphabet. In 1953 they used womens names. Some names have been retired and some are used on the Pacific side of the US and some on the Atlantic side of the US....
