  1. we can't

    there is a system of naming:

    every first hurricane of the season/year begins with the letter "a", the next with the letter "b" and so  on. The gender of the name is switched every other hurricane, so it is unlikely that we will run out of names.

    The most recent hurricane was hurricane Bertha, therefore the previous name was a male name that began with an "A" (i don't remember what it was) and the next hurricane will be a male name that begins with the letter "c"

    BUT if we run out of names during the year... they might use the greek alphabet. They did it before...

    :) hope this helps


  2. we could let celebreties name them!!! they dont use real names well a lot dont for their own kids so i am sure they can think of a fake dumb made up name for a hurricane too!!!

  5. They have 26 names for each letter in the alphabet, plus some ready in case things run out, then they start over at A....

  6. We'll either outlaw hurricanes or make up more names.

  7. That happened during the 2005 Hurricane Season, with Katrina.  They started using Greek names.
