Hurricane names are named by when the hurricane happens. Andrew was the first storm of the 192 Atlantic hurricane season so it got an "A" name. (i.e. first hurricane of season might get the name Ally and the second Barry and the third Corinne, etc.) The meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center comes up with a list of 21 names for each hurricane season. If a hurricane is really wild, the name will be taken out and replaced by another one beginning with the same letter. Names are used every 6 years (like I said, wild hurricane names are taken out). If the number of hurricanes exceeds 21, then meteorologists will need to use Greek letter names. In 2005, there were so many hurricanes that they ran out of names and used the Greek letter names such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, and Zeta.
Hope this helped!! :)
