Frank announced by a list with male and female names would be used in the eastern Pacific Ocean that year and in the Atlantic by 1979, after submitting a proposal to the World Meteorological Organization.[8]" stick this with your fingers into the storm names section? :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 19:02, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
