1950-1952 hurricanes were named using the phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, etc.)

Prior to that there was no naming system at all/ Storms were given numbers for purposes of record keeping. Some of the more devastating hurricanes were referred to by where or when they hit, such as the Galveston hurricane or the Labor Day hurricane.
