Question

How do they decide what to name hurricanes?

Answer 1

The names of tropical cyclones around the world are decided in advance by a committee of the World Meteorological Organization, and the lists are compiled. The lists usually repeat after a certain number of years. Once in a while a storm gets its name retired because it was strong enough and/or damaging enough.

The latest lists can be found here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml
