when did hurricanes start to have boy names?

Answer 1

Naming hurricanes/typhoons/tropical cyclones started in Australia around 1900 but stopped when Clement Wragge ceased as Queensland Government Meteorologist. After World War II naming started again by the USA with Atlantic hurricanes and they were given female names. The practice spread to the South China Sea with typhoons and the Indian ocean and south Pacific ocean with tropical cyclones.

In 1974, the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia was ordered by the Government to alternate male and female names and a new list of names was submitted to the World Meteorological Organisation. The WMO approved the list and the first male-named tropical cyclone appeared in the 1975/6 season in Australia. The practice was adopted by the rest of the world and by 1979, all countries that used female names alternated male and female. This included the USA.
