there are lists of names in alphabetical order. every year they use a different list. not every letter is represented (like Q). if they run to the end of the list, they start calling them by greek letters, very rare, but it happened recently. if a storm causes a lot of damage then the name is retired, and that list needs a new name for that letter (katrina, andrew). tropical storms get names, but not all of them turn into hurricanes and make the news, so sometimes it seems like the names are skipping around.
