The lists shown in the visual are in alphabetical order and are recycled after six years, although some names can be retired on request. All letters of the alphabet are used except Q, U, X, Y and Z. Gender alternates both between adjacent names in a list and between initial names of the lists. Greek alphabets (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc) are used if a particular list is exhausted. 2005, saw the first ever use of Greek letters, since the system of using 21 names in a list was established in 1933.Identify the lists.

Names to give significant hurricanes in chronological order during yearly storm seasons. If that is the case, then the name "Katrina" seems to be retired.
The list of names for hurricanes to hit south eastern US?
These are the names mentioned in the six standard Atlantic hurricane name lists for every year. These lists are recycled except when the hurricane is truly devastating.
North Atlantic Ocean storms are named by the U.S. National Hurricane Center from the lists.
Congrats everyone.
