The man who gets paid $145,000 a year to name the hurricanes use to work at Trump's Taj Majal in Atlantic City. Why don't people talk about this? Crazy.

The names are on a six year rotating list, with a name being retired when it is associated with a Hurricane that does memorable, catastrophic damage. The names are set up by a committee of the World Meteorological Organization. The reason there are "different" names is that British, French, and Spanish names are included alongside American ones as these are all nations with territories affected by tropical cyclones. The link below will show you the names for the next six years for the Atlantic basin. There are separate lists for each tropical cyclone basin in the world.
