Hurricane-like storms are called by different names in the different regions of the world. For example, the name "hurricane" is given to systems that develop over the Atlantic or the eastern Pacific Oceans. In the western North Pacific and Philippines, these systems are called "typhoons" while in the Indian and South Pacific Ocean, they are called "cyclones".

Since 1953, the Tropical Prediction Center has produced
lists of names for hurricanes.
As a tropical depression
develops into a tropical storm,
it is given the
next available name on the list, which is prepared in alphabetical order
and alternates from between male and female names.
The list of storm names for 1999-2004 is given below.
