Where do names of hurricanes come from?

Question

always wanted to know:)

Answer 1

The National Hurricane Center in the U.S. makes up a list of names for each season.  They're chosen far in advance of the actual season in question.  Names of particularly bad storms are generally retired.

Answer 2

they go by the alphabet, they pick a random name for each letter and i think they also alternate male-female names

Answer 4

These days names of hurricanes are selected by World Meteorological Organization (WMO).  They have six lists of both womens and mens names of each letter of the alphabet (except Q, U and Z).  The list is rotated every six years.  Find out more at wisegeek.com/how-are-hurricanes-named
