Naming storms began in the 1950s when meteorologists at the US National Hurricane Center started using female names to identify storms. In 1979, male names were also included, and an official list of names that alternate between male and female was established for hurricanes and typhoons.

In North America, names were given to tropical storms that became hurricanes in the 1950s. At the time, all the names dispensed were female names. Male names were added in 1979. This process of naming tropical storms and hurricanes facilitated communication of the storms' paths across various regions.
Naming started in 1950. The current naming system, though, was not established until 1979.
Until 1979, the lists were made up only of women's names, but because of claims that the naming convention was sexist, the lists of names for hurricanes and tropical storms after 1979 have alternated between men's names and women's names. So, they never stopped naming them after women... they just added men too in 1979.
No, tropical storms were not always given male names. Initially, storms were primarily named using a phonetic alphabet or after the location they affected. In the late 1950s, the practice of using female names became standard. It wasn't until the 1970s that male names were also included in the naming conventions, leading to the alternating use of male and female names for tropical storms.
The Weather Channel began naming winter storms in 2012 to help increase awareness and safety measures for severe winter weather events. The practice of naming winter storms has since become common in the United States and other regions around the world.

Names starting with the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z are not used for naming hurricanes.
The weather channel will introduce this concept for the winter season of 2012-13. It will name each storm 2-3 days before it hits a large population center.

Storms are given names to help easily identify and track them, especially when multiple storms are occurring simultaneously. Naming storms helps to avoid confusion when referring to them in news reports, forecasts, and emergency communications. It also aids in raising awareness and preparedness among the public.
