yes the name of cyclones starts with any of the alphabet but how word is fixed?

Well the names are not easy because its not only in english or in hindi. but the names are suggeated by a group of countries situated around indian ocean.

The world meteorological bodies have already named potential cyclones till the end of this year. Eight north Indian Ocean countries have jointly prepared a list of 64 names for cyclones.

Whenever a cyclone hits any region, the next available name is picked up from the list for easy identification and facilitating rescue operations.

None of the names are repeated. Some of the next few names available for naming cyclones are Ward, Laila and Bandu.

The nomenclature trend started in Australia when the cyclones were actually named after corrupt politicians in the 19th century.

A set of 64 names is reserved for next four years in indian ocean.

later, it would be referred to as segundo (Spanish for "the second"), as with Hurricane San Felipe Segundo.[11]

The practice of giving storms people's names was introduced by Clement Lindley Wragge, an Anglo-Australian meteorologist at the end of the 19th century. He used female names, the names of politicians who had offended him, and names from history and mythology.[12][13] During World War II, tropical cyclones were given feminine names, mainly for the convenience of forecasters and in a somewhat ad hoc manner. In addition, George R. Stewart's 1941 novel Storm helped to popularize the concept of giving names to tropical cyclones.[14]

From 1950 through 1952, names from the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet were used for storms in the North Atlantic.[15] The modern naming convention was in response to the need for unambiguous radio communications with ships and aircraft. As transportation traffic increased and meteorological observations improved in number and quality, several typhoons, hurricanes, or cyclones might have to be tracked at any given time. To help in their identification, the practice of systematically naming tropical storms and hurricanes was initiated in 1953 by the United States National Hurricane Center. Naming is now maintained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).[16]

In keeping with the common English language practice of referring to named inanimate objects such as boats, trains, etc., using the female pronoun "she," names used were exclusively feminine.[13] The first storm of the year was assigned a name beginning with the letter "A," the second with the letter "B," etc. Because tropical storms and hurricanes are often destructive, some considered this practice sexist. The WMO responded to these concerns in 1979 with the introduction of masculine names to the nomenclature. (Prior to 1979, in New England, in contrast to hurricane names, the Travelers Weather Service[who?] named blizzards after male names[citation needed]. Starting in 1979, the names of blizzards in New England, like Atlantic Hurricanes, alternated annually between male and female names[citation needed].) It was also in 1979 that the practice of preparing a list of names before the season began. The names are usually of English, French, or Spanish origin in the Atlantic basin, because these are the three predominant languages of the region that the storms typically affect. In the southern hemisphere, male names were given to cyclones starting in 1975.[13]

Beginning in 2002, the practice of naming tropical cyclones was applied to sub-tropical cyclones using the list of names for tropical cyclones
