No - the names are determined before the season even begins. They are always in alternating order, which means you will always have male, then female, then male, then female, etc.

Whether a particular name gets used for a very strong hurricane is purely by chance.

No, since 1979, the World Meteorological Organization has used alternating male and female names for hurricanes. This helps to avoid gender bias and promote diversity in the naming convention.
