As the article you cited points out, this has been changed in 1998. Low pressure areas get male names in odd years and female names in even years; vice versa for high pressure areas.
great, that's not confusing at all. hmm, i'm seeing a warning. i should know what to do. wait, what year is it? damn, if only i could remember even/odd male/female cycles. oh well, best if i just ignore it and carry on with my day. at least it's not a tuesday. i never got the hang of tuesday.
