Named storms are named according to the ocean where they generated. In other words the Atlantic storms have only made it to Ernesto whereas Pacific storms have made it to John. Hope that helps.

there are 2 lists of names for the storms one is for the gulf of mexico and the atlantic ocean and the other one is for the pacific ocean and further out in the pacific ocean the hurricanes are called typhons, and the pacific has been more active due to el nino.

Ernesto is from the list for Atlantic storms; John is from the list of Pacific storms. You can see the complete list for both oceans at the weather channel website:
