Normally a hurricane name is re-used every six years. However, if a hurricane is particularly bad the name of that storm is not used again out of respect for the victims and to avoid confusion. The name is then replaced with another name of the same gender and with the same starting letter, for example the name Andrew, retired in 1992, was replaced with Alex in 1998.
