The name Babe has been used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean and six tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific Ocean.
Babe was used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the relatively minimal damage caused by the storm, the name Babe was not retired; however, after male names were added to the list of Atlantic hurricane names, Babe was removed and has not been used to name a storm since.
