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:
“And true, they are hurling spittle, rock,
Garbage and fruit in Little Rock.
And I saw coiling storm a-writhe
On bright madonnas. And a scythe
Of men harassing brownish girls.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them. They are not even now as concerned about the health of their fame as men are, and, speaking generally, will pass a tombstone or a signpost without feeling an irresistible desire to cut their names on it.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
