[edit] North Atlantic
North Atlantic Ocean storms are named by the U.S. National Hurricane Center from the following lists. There are six lists of names, with female names starting odd-numbered years (e.g. 1999) and male names starting even-numbered years (e.g. 2002). Names are used in alphabetical order, and lists are recycled after six years. For retired names, see list of retired Atlantic hurricanes. Names in italics in the list below were officially retired in 2005.
