Source of Camille Name On Hurricane Naming List
In 1969, Hope's daughter graduated from high school, so he added her name to the list of names to be used for hurricanes that year (at that time, there was no organized list of assigned names to be used, the only requirements were that the names had to be female – male names were not used at that time – in alphabetical order, and not otherwise retired). He had no way of knowing at the time that the storm that would take his daughter's name – Camille – would become one of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes to ever hit the United States when it slammed into Mississippi as a Category five hurricane. His daughter Camille is married to former U.S. Representative Jim Marshall of Georgia.

If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
