There are no provisions for what to do in the event we have to retire Beta's name and replace it on the list of hurricane names. One possibility is that the storm will be dubbed Beta-2005 and the name Beta will be reused. Another possibilty is that Beta will be skipped over next time the Greek alphabet comes into use.—Jeff Masters

The question arises because Beta looks likely to turn into a hurricane and cause major destruction in Nicaragua and possibly Guatemala and El Salvador.

I'm with the B suggestion. Start a fresh set of alphabet names, and don't worry about it.

Or they could start with the Hebrew alphabet next time. Imagine the headlines:

Nun Menaces Miami!
