Hi Alex; How you been ? I think it was 1979 they went to naming them after both sexes, yuk. When I was a kid they didn't even use peoples' names. Up through 1949 they used numbers, them some idiot thought he was smart and it would improve them if they had a name. It's a wonder they didn't name them like they did the stars, you know them names only a Greek can pronounce, they could have went from Ankaacamarn to Rasalhague to Zubenelgenubi, now that would have made them look really smart.
