Is there a list of what hurricanes will be named before they are actually hurricanes?

Yes, every year has a list of names that will be assigned to storms in alphabetical order as they reach tropical storm intensity (for example the first in 2010 was Hurricane Alex followed by Tropical Storm Bonnie etc.). Each list of names is re-used every six years except for names of storms that are especially bad such as Andrew and Katrina.
