Storm Names
The following list of names was used to name storms that formed in the northeast Pacific in 2003. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray. No names were retired by the World Meteorological Organization, therefore this list will be used again in the 2009 Pacific hurricane season. This is the same list which was used for the 1997 season except for Patricia, which replaced Pauline. A storm was named Patricia for the first time in 2003.
