Maybe this has already been answered, but why are they reusing old names now?

Seems odd that they can't think up new ones ... and unnecessarily confusing. They could even use a similar meteorological convention like Cyclone [1]

Texan and Bulldog are two more that got reused




[1] ok, cyclone was an engine and I guess Zephyr and Sirocco would be confusing too
