Entry: What's in a name? Sunday



I have a question.


Why were the previous two hurricanes named after females? Why not Hurricane George, or Hurricane Bill? Why Katrina and Rita? Why named after human names for all that matters?


I wonder how all Katrinas and Ritas in the world are feeling when they read headlines like these:


"Rita Rages Over New Orleans" or "Katrina's Wrath" or "Rita's Fury Unleashed" or "Rita Hammers Texas"


I, for one wouldn't want a hurricane named after me *shakes head*. No siree. Imagine, Hurricane Angie. Lol.


Anyway, I did a little search-a-round, and take a look at these hurricane / cyclone names


But I still don't get it.



Again, I advertise my other blogspace: Play On

They normally give hurricanes female names because they are deadly, vicious and you don’t want to mess with them. They also give big ships female names because they are fat, bulky and ungainly. Hehehe…..
