It is the World Meteorological Organization that decides tropical cyclone names for all ocean basins. For every year, there is a pre-approved list of names for tropical storms and hurricanes. These lists have been generated by the National Hurricane Center since 1953. At first, the lists consisted of only female names; however, since 1979, the lists alternate between male and female.

Ultimately, only the National Weather Service and its branches have the authority to name storms.
