Generally there are two ways to
name typhoons: the number-based convention and the list-based convention.
Following the number-based convention, typhoons are coded with 31 types of numbers such as a 4-digit or a
6-digit code. For example, the 14th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled either as
Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The 32 of this convention, however, is that a number
is hard to remember. The list-based convention, on the other hand, is based on
the list of typhoon names compiled in advance by a committee, and is more
widely used.

At the very beginning, only 33 names were used because at that time typhoons
were named after girlfriends or wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979,
however, male names were also included because women protested against the
original naming 34 for
reasons of gender equality.

In Asia , Western
names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to

  35 Asians’ awareness of typhoons.
The names were chosen from a name pool   36 of 140 names, 10 each from the 14 members of
the committee. Each country has its unique naming preferences. Korea and Japan
  37
animal names and China likes
names of gods such as Longwang (dragon king) and Fengshen (god of the wind).

After the 140 names are all
used in order, they will be   38 . But the names can be changed. If a
member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon, it can   39 that the name of the typhoon be deleted from
the list at the annual committee meeting. For example, the names of Nabi by South Korea , and Longwang by China were   40 with other names in 2007. The deletion of both
names was due to the severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.
