Experience shows that short, distinctive names helps people distinguish storm names better. They alternate between male and female names and once a storm does an especially catastrophic amount of damage, the storm name is then retired and replaced with a name of like gender. They have a set of 6 names they recycle except for retired names. This has been in place since 1979 despite the fact that hurricanes have had names sine 1950.

I'm surprised it hasn't been used before. It's an old name.
