Storm Names
The following names were used for named storms that formed in the northeast Pacific in 1992. No eastern Pacific names were retired, so it was used again in the 1998 season. This is the same list used for the 1986 season. Storms were named Seymour, Tina, Virgil, Winifred, Xavier, Yolanda, and Zeke for the first time in 1992. Yolanda and Zeke were the first time that Y and Z names had been used to name storms.
All names on the list were used this year. This is the second time that a northeast Pacific hurricane season had exhausted its list. The 1983 season also used every name on its list, but the list only went to the W name at the time. The 1985 season's list was lengthened while it was going on to prevent exhaustion.

Three names from the central Pacific list were used – Ekeka, Hali, and Iniki. This was the first usage for all of these names.

“Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blindfolded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have here in England.... If you can tell me of any trustworthy method of selecting a wife, I shall be happy to make use of it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
