For a tropical storm to get a name, its top winds much reach 39 mph; to qualify as a hurricane, those winds must hit 74 mph. These lists are maintained by the World Meteorological Organization, and they get recycled every 6 years. Names of especially devastating storms, like Katrina or Sandy, are cycled out for sensitivity’s sake. **Your 2014 Atlantic hurricane names:** Arthur Bertha Cristobal Dolly Edouard Fay Gonzalo Hanna Isaias Josephine Kyle Laura Marco Nana Omar Paulette Rene Sally Teddy Vicky Wilfred **Your 2014 Eastern North Pacific hurricane names:** Amanda Boris Cristina Douglas Elida Fausto Genevieve Hernan Iselle Julio Karina Lowell Marie Norbert Odile Polo Rachel Simon Trudy Vance Winnie Xavier Yolanda Zeke ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/109378/hurricane-names-2014/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/109378/hurricane-names-2014/"},"headline":"These Are the Hurricane Names We Could Get This Year","datePublished":"2014-05-22T19:07:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:00:15.732Z","description":"Here's hoping Bertha doesn't get too big","url":"https://time.com/109378/hurricane-names-2014/","keywords":["weather"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9d129e3dfb3a3f9/69869094169ab0723b2796f8/hurricane-satellite.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Giri Nathan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/giri-nathan/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9d129e3dfb3a3f9/69869094169ab0723b2796f8/hurricane-satellite.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hurricane Irene Churns Off East Coast Of United States","caption":"Hurricane Irene Churns Off East Coast Of United States","creditText":"NASA/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/weather/","name":"weather"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/109378/hurricane-names-2014/","name":"These Are the Hurricane Names We Could Get This Year"}}]}] ```
