Ah -- sorry, of course you're right, Ebbie. I remember now. It was I who assumed when they decided to "alternate" that it would be by year, rather than by storm. How predictable that [whatever bureaucracy is in charge of naming storms] would complicate matters by deciding to name hurricanes using names of both genders, yet neglect to designate one gender per ocean, per season. Were they to alternate genders year over year, rather than storm over storm, we'd all have a way to know instantly which ocean they were talking about.

I suppose that would be cheating...
