Storm Names
The following names were used for named storms (tropical storms and hurricanes) that formed in the North Atlantic in 1977. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.
Storms were named Anita, Babe, Clara and Evelyn for the first time in 1977. The name Anita was later retired. Because the list used for this season was not used again after a new list containing male names came into usage in the 1979 season, it was not replaced with any particular name.

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:
“Think of the storm roaming the sky uneasily
like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
listen to it growling.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blindfolded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have here in England.... If you can tell me of any trustworthy method of selecting a wife, I shall be happy to make use of it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
