i don't know who names them. but i do know that the names are in the 3 languages of the region of the tropics.... English Spanish and French. Also... its in Alphabetical order... So Ernesto would be the fifth storm of the season.

there is a master list of names that gets rotated. i can't remember the exact rotation timing though. however, when a hurricane is particularly disastrous, the name is "retired", such as andrew and i'm sure now katrina
