The short answer to the question which is on many people's minds as Hurricane Wilma prepares to bear down on Florida is that Wilma is the last name prepared for this season--q, u, x, y, and z are not used--and if they need to name additional storms they will move on to the Greek alphabet.
Names are recycled every six years, except that influential hurricanes have their names retired. There won't be another Katrina, or Andrew, or Hugo. There's a chart available on the Unisys Weather Page.
