I do not have information on specific hurricane names for the next 5 years as they are determined by the World Meteorological Organization. However, each year a list of names is assigned alphabetically to tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific regions.

What spanish names have been used for hurricanes?
Some Spanish names used for hurricanes include Maria, Irma, and Katrina. These names are part of the rotating lists of names used for Atlantic hurricanes by the World Meteorological Organization.
What is the difference between a girl hurricane to a boy hurricane?
There is no difference at all. In years past all hurricanes were named after women. Some women took offense to that so the national weather service started to alternate between boys names and girls names so no one would be offended.
What happens when they finish the alphabet for hurricanes?
When the predetermined list of names for hurricanes is exhausted, the Greek alphabet is used. For example, if the Atlantic hurricane season runs out of the designated names, it will use Greek letters like Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc., as storm names.

That is the convention for naming hurricanes and cyclones. The names alternate boy-girl-boy-girl, using the next letter of the alphabet. Originally only female names were used, but this could be views as rather sexist.

Is a hurricane's name used again?
The names of hurricanes are re-used every 6 years unless they are retired. Names of particularly severe and/or damaging hurricanes are not re-used. The decision whether to remove a name is made yearly at an annual session of the Hurricane Committee. When a name is retired/removed from the list, a new name starting with the same letter is chosen to add to the list in its place.

Why did they stop using certain names for hurricanes?
Certain names for hurricanes are retired if they were particularly destructive or deadly to avoid any confusion or insensitivity in the future. This helps to make sure that those affected by those specific hurricanes can recover without seeing the name used again.
Is there a list of what hurricanes will be named before they are actually hurricanes?
Yes, the World Meteorological Organization releases a list of storm names for each hurricane season in advance. The list alternates between male and female names and is used to identify tropical storms and hurricanes as they develop.

Why no hurricanes with the letter j?
There are. It's probably just a matter of luck that tropical storms and hurricanes with names beginning in J have not become well-known. Here are the ones in the Atlantic from the past 10 years: Jose (2005, 2011) Julia (2010), Josephine (2002, 2008), Jerry (2001, 2007), Jeanne (2004), and Juan (2003). All of these names have been used to name tropical storms, though not all of them became hurricanes.
Are the names of hurricanes random?
No. Each year has a predetermined list of names for a given ocean basin. For the Atlantic each annual has 21 names sorted in alphabetical order and alternating in gender. The letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used. As soon as a new tropical storm forms it gets the next available name from the list. The lists are re-used every six years, except for names of especially bad storms which are replaced upon a decision by the World Meteorological Organization. For a full list of Atlantic and East Pacific hurricane names, for the years 2012 through 2017 see the link below.
