How are hurricanes named each year?

A tropical cyclone is given a name when it reaches tropical storm status, with winds of at least 39 mph. Each year has a list of 21 names for tropical cyclones. These names are in alphabetical order and alternated in gender. The letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used as there are not enough names that start with these letters. As an example, the first four this year tropical storms and hurricanes were Alex, Bonnie, Colin, and Danielle. Normally names are re-used every six years unless a storm is particularly bad, in which case the name is retired and replaced.

Why do some symbols of some elements have two letters rather than one?
