From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below are the list of names that will be used for the next six hurricane seasons. The names flip from Male to female after each letter, and the starting gender is flipped each year. Eg. 2021 was Adrian (Male), 2022 was Allie (Female). If a system causes enough destruction and would be appropriate to use in the future it is retired: Currently retired names are; Edward, Gabe, Graham, Henrietta, Jordan, Kathy, Kiera, Martin, Olga, Otto, Paula, Rina, Wilson and Cameron from the auxiliary list. The auxiliary list is a list of names that will be used when the first twenty one names are used up, the auxiliary list remains the same each year, unless a name gets retired.
