Scientists name each hurricane after one letter in the alphabet. It goes A, B, C, D, etc.Names alternate in gender; for example the first storms of the 2010 Atlantic season were Alex, Bonnie, Colin, and Danielle. In the Atlantic the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used as there are not enough names beginning with those letters. Naming starts at A at the beginning of each year, and name lists for each year are reused on a six year rotation. If a storm causes serious damage, or a high death toll the storm name is replaced and not used again. For example like Hurricane Katrina had its name replaced by Katia for the 2011 season. If all available letters are used up then storms are named with the Greek Alphabet. This happened in the 2005 season, which saw storms named Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Epsilon, and Zeta.

What rules are used to name hurricanes?
Hurricanes, at least in the Atlantic, are named from a pre-chosen list for the year. Every time a new system becomes a tropical storm it is given the next name on the list. The names are in alphabetical order with the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z excluded. This gives a total of 21 available names for each year. If the National Hurricane Center runs out of names for a given year it will start using letters of the Greek alphabet to name storms. This has only happened once. Each list of names is re-used every six years. If a hurricane is particularly deadly or destructive, however, its name will be retired, meaning no new storms will get that name. It will be replaced by a new name of the same gender and beginning letter. For example the name Katrina was retired after the 2005 season and replaced with Katia for 2011 and subsequent years.
