Tropical storm Dolly formed in the Atlantic Ocean Thursday, just days after the passing of legendary singer Dolly Parton. The National Hurricane Center wants everyone to know, though, that it's just a coincidence.

The study looked at data from the Social Security Administration on more than 10,000 names given to babies born in 2022 across the United States.

ORLANDO, Fla. The next name on the 2020 list is raising some questions as to who actually names these storms. If youre looking for the short answer as to who names the storms, the World Meteorological Organization has the responsibility for naming the storms that impact the Atlantic Basin. The pre-designated list of names is proposed by the members that are relevant to where the storms may impact. In 1953, the U.S. began using female names. It wasnt until 1979 that both male and female names were used in the Atlantic Basin.
