Given that this is part of a long cycle upswing, sounds like they would be wise to do so. At least start coming up with names for those difficult letters of the alphabet they usually skip.
I was reading on the wunderground.com blog that they don't think that Beta will stay a hurricane and get all the way across the central American land spit - high mountains and all that - but apparently it has been done. In 1998 Hurricane Joan went across into the Pacific and was "reborn as Hurricane Miriam". There's something I'd not thought about - renaming them if they cross over. I had wondered if Alpha and Wilma had merged, what they'd have called the results.
