Hurricanes katrina,Gustav...,from where do their names come from?

From somewhere - I dont recall, but think I may have your answer. They are names in alphabetical order, and as they occur. The names are alternated m/f -

1. Adrian

2. Beatrice

3. Casey

4. Darin

5. Edna

6. Frank

Answer 2

every year they have specific names for tropical disturbances as tropical storms or hurricanes here is this years list:

The following names will be used for named storms that form in the North Atlantic in 2008. Retired names, if any, will be announced by the World Meteorological Organization in the spring of 2009. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2014 season. The list is the same as the 2002 list except for Ike and Laura, which will replace Isidore and Lili, respectively.
