I'm going to postulate a different approach and that is to name hurricanes after sexual positions. Hurricane Reverse Cowgirl would immediately capture my attention.
You do realize that a very large, very ignorant fraction of Florida's population will actually rush out to stand on the beach to welcome hurricane ...
The problem with assigning gender-neutral (and even gendered) names is that both are to some extent ethnically- and culturally-specific. For example, in some countries names like "Andrea" and "Jean" can be male or female, while in others they are almost exclusively female.

Exactly, exactly. I wanna know how many of the test subjects lived anywhere near where an actual storm surge was likely to happen. In my experience, those who have never personally witnessed what a force 5 storm and the resulting surge, are going to overestimate their ability to survive if their shelter gets inundated. I had relatives who stayed in Charleston during Hugo. They were very, very lucky and have no intentions of ever doing anything so spectacularly stupid again - except vote for RWNJs. no cure for that, it seems.
hurricane H1N1, mmm not so much

But then the hurricanes would all have to be the right height.

Oh. Right. Problem solved.
You'd be surprised at how much damage one of those can do.
They all used to be named after ex-wives, which really should have scared the crap out of people.
We might have to take the next Big Mac Attack more seriously.
"I'd go with the facts as presented in the article and then propose numbering them instead of giving them names"
That's how it was done prior to 1953. The practice was less than satisfactory.

"We'll use a female name for the next Hurricane, Mabey."

OK, confess, I read formations as fornications the first time around.
I think I'm spending too much time around you people
Sir Edmund libelz
Do your worst, Hurricane Sara.
Oops, wrong article thingy.
I would suggest that the name <i>Hurr</i>icane is bifurcated-gender-paradigm-normative!!
So Obama&#039;s weather modification/HAARP/Chemtrails is just another form of affirmative action being crammed down our throats?
