They don't. Hurricane names alternate in gender, it just so happens that the 2 hurricanes to hit the U.S. east coast in recent years have had female names. In the past 20 years the following hurricanes have hit the U.S. East Coast:
- Andrew (1992)
- Danielle (1992)
- Erin (1995)
- Bertha (1996)
- Fran (1996)
- Bonnie (1998)
- Dennis (1999)
- Floyd (1999)
- Kyle (2002)
- Isabel (2003)
- Charley (2004)
- Frances (2004)
- Gaston (2004)
- Jeanne (2004)
- Katrina (2005)
- Irene (2011)
- Sandy (2012)
This leaves 6 storms with male names and 11 with female names. The fact that most of the names are female is merely the product of random chance.
