Has there ever been a hurricane called sonya?

The name Sonia is available for use in the eastern Pacific Ocean, however, the name has not been used so far. Tropical storms are named in alphabetical order as they develop, and few seasons make it far enough to have a storm name begginning with S.


Will there be a hurricane Samantha?

The name Samantha does not appear on any lists of current hurricane names. The only way for the name Samantha to be used is if a storm with a female name starting with S is bad enough to have that name retired. This probably won't happen any time soon as few hurricane season make it as far as S (storms are named in alphabetical order) and the S name for this year is male.
