In the Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons (taifuns).
There are more in the Pacific than in the Atlantic.

There aren't any other names for hurricanes. Tropical depressions, disturbances and storms are different. Once wind reaches a certain mph it is classified as a hurricane. The others are lower mph.

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones
(for rotating counterclockwise) in the southern hemisphere and anti-cyclones (for rotating clockwise) in the northern hemisphere.
Rotation is due to the Coriolis effect whereby the Earth's rotation induces a "spin" to the storm
Toilets (if left on their own as opposed to being forced to rotate) and drains, do in fact spin the other way down under. Simple physics.

I am not sure if I know what you are asking. If you are asking, what do they call Hurricanes once they run out of the letters A-Z, then I believe they start using the Greek Alphabet, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta...

hurricane is a more powerful version of tropical storm, but in the pacific ocean they're usually called typhoons and in the southern hemisphere they're referred to as anti-cyclones
