Hello everyone! I'm a Wikipedian interested in editing and making articles about hurricanes. I am also interested in making hypothetical seasons or storms, and in making cyclone names. I am based on the West Pacific, and it is my main area of interest. However, I have growing interest on the East Pacific hurricanes since May 2014 [when Amanda formed]. So, yeah at times I can get a bit sarcastic, so please bear with me.

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO EDIT THE FOLLOWING SECTION BELOW, UNLESS YOU HAVE CONSENT FROM ME.

Western North Pacific
Within the Northwestern Pacific Ocean there are three separate agencies who assign names to tropical cyclones which often results in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center name tropical cyclones should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h, (40 mph), to the north of the equator between the 180° and 100°E. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N and 25°N even if the cyclone has had a name assigned to it by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

International names
Tropical Cyclones are named from the following lists by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in Tokyo, Japan, once they reach tropical storm strength. Six lists of names, alternating between masculine and feminine, are maintained by the World Meteorological Organization with them rotating on a yearly basis. Significant tropical cyclones have their names retired from the lists with a replacement name selected at the next World Meteorological Organization Typhoon Committee meeting. If all of the names on a list are used, then an auxiliary list is used, if it exceeds that, storms are then named after the letters of the Greek alphabet (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.) Auxilliary names cannot be retired, alongside the Greek Alphabet.

Here are the names for my cyclones, which rotate every 6 years unless retired - same system used by the NHC except for the auxiliary lists provided for more convenience and for less usage for the Greek alphabet. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones within the Philippine Area of Responsibility, regardless of whether it forms within or enters from beyond. These unique identifiers are usually local nicknames for people; should the list of names for a given year be exhausted, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first ten of which (i.e. those beginning in letter A-J) are published every year.[6] There are no names that begin with the Filipino letters Ñ, NG and X.
