Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the Northeastern Pacific in 2010. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2016 season. This was the same list used in the 2004 season.

For storms that form in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility, encompassing the area between 140 degrees west and the International Date Line, all names are used in a series of four rotating lists. The next four names that were slated for use are listed below.

Retirement
On March 16, 2011, at the 33rd session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Agatha from its rotating name lists due to the amount of damage and deaths it caused, and it will not be used again for another Pacific hurricane. Agatha was replaced with Alice for the 2016 season.
