The following names were used for system that attained at least tropical storm intensity within the Atlantic basin in the year 2000. Although this was the same list used for the 1994 Atlantic hurricane season, storms were named Joyce, Leslie, Michael, and Nadine for the first time in 2000 due to inactivity in the former.

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “Sin their conception, their birth weeping,
    Their life a general mist of error,
    Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
    —John Webster (c. 1580–1638)

    ““Well then, it’s Granny speaking: ‘I dunnow!
    Mebbe I’m wrong to take it as I do.
    There ain’t no names quite like the old ones, though,
    Nor never will be to my way of thinking.
    One mustn’t bear too hard on the newcomers,
    But there’s a dite too many of them for comfort....’””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
