Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 2000. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2006 season. This was the same list used in the 1994 season, with the exception of the name Joyce, which replaced Joan. The names Joyce, Nadine, Oscar, Patty, Rafael, and Sandy were used for the first (and only, in the case of Nadine) time this year.
