The names for every tropic storm in a season are pronounced earlier. They just name it after this list:

* Arthur
* Bertha
* Cristobal
* Dolly
* Edouard
* Fay
* Gustav (aktiv)



* Hanna (aktiv)
*
Ike (nicht vergeben)
*
Josephine (nicht vergeben)
*
Kyle (nicht vergeben)
*
Laura (nicht vergeben)
*
Marco (nicht vergeben)
*
Nana (nicht vergeben)



*
Omar (nicht vergeben)
*
Paloma (nicht vergeben)
*
Rene (nicht vergeben)
*
Sally (nicht vergeben)
*
Teddy (nicht vergeben)
*
Vicky (nicht vergeben)
*
Wilfred (nicht vergeben)

Copypasta from Wikipedia.de - but don't ask me why they come up with those stupid names. :|

Ofc alphabetical...But I dont know why they take Nana instead of Nicole for example. ;)

I think I know why they take Omar for a danger for American lives. :D

They take different names every year. Nicole was probably used not to long ago so they didn't want to take it again.

-.-

Still no reason why ALL climatic issues get "unusual" names very often. Btw: The list for 2008 was already used in 2002 (except 2 names) and will be used again in 2014 and is based on a bigger list how climatic phenomenoms are allowed to be named.

Seems even more retarded than being Pate for some meteorit/planet/star...And I don't think that the list consists of "bought" names. :P
