Based on what vs according to what

Which one would you say?

1 Based on what do they name the hurricanes in America and based on what is it a female or male name?

2 According to what do they name the hurricanes in America....

These sentences sound wrong, Are they?

Thanks

Maybe not wrong, but certainly very awkward and badly worded. Try "What are the criteria for naming hurricanes in America?" or "How are hurricane names determined in America?"
