Hurricanes are given names to aid in communication and to differentiate them from one another. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) maintains a list of names for tropical cyclones in different regions. The names on the list are chosen in alphabetical order, are gender-neutral, and alternate between masculine and feminine names. This helps to make identification and tracking of hurricanes easier and more efficient. Leslie is just one of the many names on the list.
