Hurricane names usually com up for use every three years. For example, there was a Hurricane Michael in 2012. The name will be available to name another storm in 2018, though it will only be used if we get to at least 13 named storms that year.
However, if a hurricane is bad enough its name is retired, meaning it is pulled out of the 6 year cycle and replaced. For example there will never be another storm named Andrew, Katrina, or Sandy.
