How are storms named if they run out of names for storms?

Hurricanes are named by using the letters of the alphabet. Names are chosen in alphabetical order, alternating in gender for each storm. 21 letters of the alphabet are used in each year's list and Q, U, X,Y and Z are skipped. If the number of named storms exceeds 21 then the NHC uses letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma...) This has only happened once: in the 2005 hurricane season which had 27 named storms all the way up to tropical storm Zeta. At the beginning of the new year the names list is reset back to an "A" name.
