The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) names storms and typhoons based on a predetermined list that alternates between male and female names. This practice started in 1979 when PAGASA adopted an international naming convention. Each storm is given a unique name when it reaches tropical depression status to facilitate communication and awareness among the public. The names are reused every four years, unless a storm is particularly deadly or costly, in which case its name is retired.

How do you name a storm as boy or girl name?
There is an order to how storms are named. I am not sure how the exact name is picked, but I do know that every season the names begin with "A" all over again. Every other storm is a boy's name and every other storm is a girl's name. There is always one boy's name and one girl's name for every letter. Here is an example: storm 1: Andrew storm 2: Andrea storm 3:Brendan storm 4: Brenda storm 5: Christian storm 6: Christina and so on.....
