Storm names
The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 1999. The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2005 season. This was the same list used in the 1993 season.

Retirement
On April 21, 2000, at the 22nd session of the RA IV hurricane committee, the World Meteorological Organization retired the names Bret, Dennis, Gert, and Ophelia from its rotating name lists due to the amount of damage and deaths they caused, and they will not be used again for another Atlantic hurricane. They were replaced with Brian, Don, Gladys, and Orla for the 2005 season.
