They go in alphabetical order. The first begins with "A", the second one, "B". The names are already chosen BEFORE the hurricane season. The fact that the 11th hurricane, last year, would be named "Katrina", was common knowledge, months before it happened. After the A through Z names run out, I think they go to the greek alphabet, for instance, "alpha", "beta", "gamma". There were so many hurricanes last year... (Sorry to interrupt, but when stuff like this happens for the FIRST time, you've gotta start thinking something's wrong with the world cough-cough-globalwarming-cough!!) ... there were so many hurricanes last year, that they almost had to implement the greek letters.

Each year the National Hurricane center releases a list of names to be used for the year. The first tropical depression that becomes a tropical storm gets the name that begins with "A". The second begins with "B", and so on.

Names are _not_ chosen at the National Hurricane Center. A sub-organization of the United Nations does it.
"They are now maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization."
