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.
