Naming Hurricanes and Tropical Storms in the Atlantic Basin began in 1950 and those names were the following:
Able
Baker
Charlie
Dog
Easy
Fox
George
How
Item
Jig
King
Love
Love can arguably be considered a woman's name, but an extremely rare one.
There is no information from my source from 1951 or 52, but in 1953 The names were as follows:
Alice
Barbara
Carol
Dolly
Edna
Florence
Gail
Hazel
Every single one of those names can be easily considered women names. It seems like women names were predominately used for awhile back in the 50's through 70's.

The name Irene is a female name, but Hurricane Irene is not named for any particular woman.

How are storms named if they run out of names for storms?
Hurricanes are named by using the letters of the alphabet. Names are chosen in alphabetical order, alternating in gender for each storm. 21 letters of the alphabet are used in each year's list and Q, U, X,Y and Z are skipped. If the number of named storms exceeds 21 then the NHC uses letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma...) This has only happened once: in the 2005 hurricane season which had 27 named storms all the way up to tropical storm Zeta. At the beginning of the new year the names list is reset back to an "A" name.
