For the names of tropical storms in the Atlantic, a regional committee of the World Meteorological Organization publishes six lists; each list is reused every six years. Each list contains a name corresponding to a letter of the alphabet, excluding 'Q', 'U', 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'. If a tropical storm acquires special notoriety because of its strength, fatalities, damage or other special reasons, its name is removed from the list and replaced.
Various considerations go into the selection of new names. The names are drawn from given names commonly used in the countries surrounding the ocean basin; specifically, names are drawn from English, Spanish and French-speaking cultures. Alternating male and female given names are assigned. Names may be excluded due to pronunciation ambiguity or a "socially unacceptable" connotation or association in one of the languages.
They have list for names. They go in alphabetically and Boy,Girl,Boy,Girl. Like this year Ana,Bill, then the what ever girls name that starts with a C.
