    The World Meteorological Organization determines this.

    They use one of six pre-named lists. The lists are rotated every year. So every six year we get the SAME hurricane names.

    The only time a name is "retired" is when the hurricane doe a LOT of damage or death, like "Katrina". They will NEVER use the name "Katrina" again.

    strong question, Fonzie (and also you're precise, Earl become no pearl of a typhoon with the help of the time he drew close to to New England!) How about those: typhoon Spiro - rejected because it will be only a nattering nabob of negativity typhoon gas Guzzler - rejected because each and every time forecasters tried to apply the call, the typhoon ran out of gas typhoon Aesop - with the help of nature, Hurricanes don't have any morals typhoon Schwarzenegger - top, a typhoon is in simple terms referred to as a typhoon if it originated interior the Tropics Edit: whats up Vapor Trails!!

    Before I start, I just want to say I mean this as a joke, no offense intended to any girls or women anywhere.

    Now, I think its a word derived from the feminists who blame men for everything, and somewhere along the line one of them got a cane and beat the snot out of a guy for something, so they gave "Her a cane" lol.

    Again, this was a joke. If anyone took offense, I apologize.

    Source(s): I don't know where the word really comes from...
